I see the uid=1003 etc on the sshfs website, does any of that information need to change? [00:09] linusasus6: man umount [00:11] how to format COMPLETELY an external usb disk ? [00:12] Anyone please, I need to set environment variable VISUALWORKS in the 'appropriate unix startup file'. How should this be done? === ng_ is now known as NG_ [00:13] zak_: you can use gparted, but if you think of earising data then it need more. [00:13] schatan: YES ERASING DATA ACTAUALLY [00:13] hey does anyone know what its called when a program can be run from any terminal location? for example, i can run "grep" or "ls" from any directory...i have a program that i want to make global so that it can run when i just call it...can anyone help me with this [00:14] cannonfodder: put it in ~/bin [00:14] <[thor]> cannonfodder: it means that those programs are in a directory that is included in a PATH [00:14] thanks you guys but you gave 2 different answers [00:14] so which one is it? [00:15] shcherbak: can i do that from konsole? [00:15] zak_: easiect way is to dump files on it, copy as much files as drive can handle. [00:15] <[thor]> cannonfodder: ~/bin/ qualifies under my response [00:15] cannonfodder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable) [00:15] thanks yeas and thor [00:16] if a directory is in your $PATH, it can be run without typing the full directory path each time [00:16] s/it/the programs in that directory/ [00:17] <[thor]> cannonfodder: /usr/bin is a relatively safe place to put your program [00:18] thanks [00:18] zak_: otherwise man shred [00:19] shcherbak: ? [00:19] Hello everyone. Is there a program for linux/ubuntu that is similar to printshop. for like printing business cards using Avery's templates???? [00:19] zak_: type in terminal: man shred [00:19] detrix42: can't you just use openoffice? [00:20] jrib: perhaps but I don't like how open office does it. [00:20] hi all. i recently decided to give the netbook remix edition a try on my netbook, but i find the performance to be slow and chuggish. when i attempted to drop visual settings for better performance, everything was greyed out with 'mutter addon disables visual style changes' or something of the sort [00:20] jrib: I will double check though... [00:20] <[thor]> detrix42: http://glabels.sourceforge.net/ [00:20] 10.10 netbook remix that is [00:21] whats a good image editing app for ubuntu? [00:21] I would try...

[00:22] <[thor]> hellphyre: it supports layering, plugins, and all the usual stuff.. though most of the commands/functions have slightly different names [00:22] zak_: formatting drive removes partition table, so there is way to recover file. if you *overwrite* them then there is no chance to get former data. [00:22] the netbook arrived earlier this morning, i can find you the newegg link if you'd like [00:22] [thor]: thanx very much [00:22] hi how do i make a channel?

[00:22] <[thor]> hellphyre: try checking your applications menu first, under Graphics [00:22] ram is important [00:22] and that chanel will be mine? [00:23] shcherbak: well i think i made the mistake yesterday to use fdisk , so it seems it hdd has got partitions :( that's why i want to format it completey [00:23] for users to join? [00:23] switch10_ 1 gig >_> [00:23] tech: ask in #freenode [00:23] This is for UBUNU not IRC help [00:23] [thor]: not installed [00:23] <[thor]> hellphyre: if it is not already installed as "Gimp Image Editor", you can easily find it in the Software Center [00:23] D: [00:23] [thor]: thanks agaon [00:23] <[thor]> np [00:23] again. [00:24] i take it 1gb isn't enough to sufficiently run the os? [00:24] XiD|Lap: I personally do not like UNR. I am using the standard desktop install on my dell mini 9. [00:24] zak_: either use shred or manually copy random things on it few times (trick is to use whole drive). [00:24] What I can't get is why, when I first got Ubuntu the Software Center wouldn't install anything [00:24] switch10_ what is your hardware on it? do you have greater than 1gb of ram? [00:24] Anyone know about that? [00:24] XiD|Lap: 1gig should be fine. 2 will obviously better. [00:24] defintly [00:24] XiD|Lap: i have 2 in mine [00:25] i will give the desktop version a try then. i don't find mysel very fond of the unity interface anyway [00:25] hellphyre: but you do want to visit Gimp web site, a lot of stuff to learn and get. [00:25] shcherbak: ok will take a look [00:25] gimp? I need a better thing than that [00:25] thanks for the help switch10_ [00:26] no prob [00:26] i installed totem-xine but how to run it? [00:26] nver heard of it [00:26] hello [00:26] but you may need to mark it exuctable if it dosn't run [00:27] Is there a way to not have a grub menu show up every time I log in? [00:27] You need it [00:27] josh__: who are you talking too? [00:27] do you have 2 operating systems? [00:27] I don't have another os [00:27] I want to run some commands at every startup (rules for iptables). How would I do that?

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [00:27] oh! you mean the login, you can't remove that [00:28] davey486: install startup-manager and set grub to time out after a second or so. [00:28] davey486 you could probably change the GRUB timeout to 1 second, so you don't have a delay while booting your computer, but stil lhave the option of booting into recovery console without playing around in bios [00:28] davey486: There are Gui Grub managers [00:28] or your talking about when it shows: Ubuntu(logo) [00:28] I think it only has it in OpenSUSE [00:28] No, not the login i menu the grub menu, I reinstalled and it started to have it, wasn't there before [00:28] I never saw one of those in Ubuntu [00:29] Anyone, in .profile I added VISUALWORKS=some-existing-path and followed with export VISUALWORKS. Then I start bash, but I don't I get blank to echo $VISUALWORKS. What gives? :( [00:29] that, umm [00:29] Gnome do has an icon cache, but the cache doesn't update - all the icons it has for the items in my main menu are really outdated. How can I fix this? Is there some gnome-do-clear-cache command? [00:29] josh__: it is easier (here) if you use nick of person you talk to. [00:29] davey486: are you sure you reinstalled over the previous version? sounds like you installed on another partition. [00:29] not that I can think of [00:29] unless you do it manullay [00:30] No, I did on same partition [00:30] oh [00:30] That what I did too [00:30] wait, i put mine on another hard disk [00:30] davey486 so you originally had no grub menu, reinstalled over your existing partition, and now grub shows up - and you don't want it to. is that correct? [00:30] yes [00:30] My hard disk (which has windowsXP) cannot want to partition [00:30] davey486 and setting grub to a 1 second timeout is not sufficient? [00:31] ... Can I repeat my question? [00:31] how about 0? [00:31] Please Go to chat server #212 [00:31] I guess , but why did it show up though? [00:31] Slix`: ask away [00:32] yep [00:32] I always choose to use the whole disk in the install option [00:32] davey486 that is beyond my level of expertise. i could offer some guesses, if you'd like [00:32] please go to chat server #212 [00:32] aurilliance: you could rmove menu and install it one more time (confusing is to find what is responsible for menu icons) [00:32] risa212: stop that, please [00:32] I want to run some commands at every startup (rules for iptables). How would I do that? [00:32] stop using this as a ad! [00:32] whats yuor guess [00:32] Oh! I know how [00:33] shcherbak, You mean remove the menu from my panel? Or uninstall gnome panel? Can you clarify?? [00:33] davey486: try running sudo update-grub [00:33] how do i get root access to my drive? i am trying to extract a file and i need to place part in /usr/sbin/ and part into /etc but when i try it tells me permission denied [00:33] Either you do it when your computer startsup (press a combitaion of keys) or in the control panel [00:33] davey486 perhaps it was configured to run silently somehow (don't know if this is possible/how to do it sorry) and reinstalling simply put a fresh version of GRUB on with default settings, thus you are now seeing it [00:33] That isn't how it works [00:33] Chaos2358 try using 'sudo' [00:34] before your copy command [00:34] yea [00:34] er extract command [00:34] if he's in the sudoers file^ [00:34] sudo [00:34] XiD|Lap, but i am not doing it in terminal dont know how to do it in terminal [00:34] I thought there was a folder or something that causes commands to execute. [00:34] aurilliance: neither, uninstall menu applets, alacarte and all others dependent, and instal them (after sudo apt-get update) again [00:34] (at every startup) [00:34] Chaos2358: open nautilus as root. gksudo nautilus [00:35] hi again [00:35] Chaos2358: then do it. copy from cli is cp. [00:35] ty [00:35] Does anybody know? :( I thought it would be simple to run commands at startup. [00:35] someone told me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/530333/ means i should dl another image disc, anyone can confirm? [00:35] could it be possible that it is because there are 2 version of the kernel [00:35] Slix`: you're probably thinking of /etc/init.d [00:35] could it be possible that it is because there are 2 version of the kernel xid? [00:35] yeats: That sounds familiar. What is it? [00:36] Slix`: google :) [00:36] Slix` please look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=331671 [00:36] found via google [00:36] How do I construct IPTables rules to block all external RFC 1918 addresses?

I think this might have to do with the fact that the file ends in a .PDF, where as files that end in a .pdf (note the case difference) behave correctly. Any help?

Then I start bash, but I get blank to echo $VISUALWORKS. What gives? :( [00:42] agentgasmask: have you tried right clicking and "Save Link As..."? [00:42] pavucontrol doesn't seem to work in Maverick for me. It shows the name of the applications but doesn't show the sound meter bar and this doesn't allow me to change the recording input to monitor for internal audio [00:42] intrader have you tried a setenv $VISUALWORKS [00:42] I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. There's a ton fo things I don't really understand about it and Linux, especially using the commandline properly (and easily). Is there any central place I can learn about all of this? [00:42] is there a maverick speed tweaks url somewhere out there that is decent ? [00:42] agentgasmask: evince is dealing with pdf, means you need to download/save and open with document viewer [00:42] Slix`: help.ubuntu.com [00:42] intrader: did you source .profile after changing it?

[00:44] XiD|Lap, lol yea sorry ok here it is i am trying to setup MIniDlna on my ubuntu 10.10 i have everything done but editing the .config file to "point" to my media files. when i open the .config file it gives me something like instructions on how to prepend the destination but i am not exactlly sure where to input or"change" this if you like i can send you a pm of the .config contents which isnt much [00:44] Slix` honestly the best way to learn about the os is just to tool around in it. start clicking on everything and see what it does. also google 'basic linux command line' or some sort to learn the ultra basics, like cd, pwd, ls, cp, etc [00:44] !list [00:44] Is Ubuntu 10.4 using ext3 or 4? [00:44] guess i will have to settle for magic lamp. still not as cool as windows burning down when closed or minimized [00:44] yeats, I thought that simply saying variable=... would work. Just the same, when I say 'setenv VISUALWORKS=...' [00:44] Slix`: or just search for simple bash tutorials [00:44] Please tell me 3... [00:45] evening [00:45] Cernunnos_: default is 4 [00:45] oops [00:45] Hmm... [00:45] Connor1: default is 4 [00:45] Chaos2358 go ahead and send it to me in a pm [00:45] kitrana: look (in launchpad) for compis extras [00:45] Connor1: 10.04 by default, but it can use ext3 too. [00:45] Connor1, i believe 10.04 is when ext4 first made it [00:45] does anyone knows how to set up a range of ip?s on a vlan on ubuntu without having to enter each manually? [00:45] Connor1, my recommendation is ext4 unless you choose to boot another linux os, and share the same /home directrory. ymmv [00:45] ikonia: default is 4 =P [00:46] Hi all: is there a difference between apt-get and aptitude? thanks [00:46] F0sterO4: what do you mean ? [00:46] k-rad I'm trying to figure out which partition is ubuntu/crunchbang. [00:46] shcherbak: Thanks for you help. It is magicly working now! :) [00:46] for christs sake I've disabled 4 things and I STILL can't get this stupid mail notification off [00:47] mekos: apt-get is deprecated as far as i know [00:47] can Anyone please help me turn it off [00:47] yeats: thanks, it's magicly working now. :) [00:47] XiD|Lap, thank you [00:47] blacksh33p: deprecated? what means this? thanks [00:47] agentgasmask: great! [00:48] Chaos2358 check pm [00:48] mekos: old stuff :)aptitude is recommended now [00:48] Connor1, if your kernels are intact the crunchbang kernels should be prefixed as such you can boot into a live usb and mount your root directories on your dual boot linux install, and see what you can find there as far as determinating installation .locales [00:48] oh now it's a chat notification using the mail icon - lovely [00:48] blacksh33p: thank you! I get it now [00:48] blacksh33p: apt-get is not deprecated - it's just another APT option :-) [00:48] can anyone tell me how to turn this thing off or at least point me towards a straight volume control applet so I can turn the default applet off? [00:48] when I run nmap targeted at my server, it quickly skips over everything and says it can't find anything open. is that normal? some sort of security feature from ubuntu server? [00:48] k-rad I deleted the ext3 parittion [00:48] Partition* [00:49] I honestly can't believe this is that hard to accomplish and i'm sort of disappointed this isnt easier in ubuntu. [00:49] yeats, when I say 'setenv VISUALWORKS "something"' still does not work [00:49] yeats: yea.... but the most guys recommend aptitude 'cause its newer :) [00:49] I had an ongoing upgrade on a server that I managed to lose console control of. I came across a file keep/overwrite prompt, so I dropped to a shell to examine the situation, then hit Ctrl+C and ended up closing do-release-upgrade process and getting back to the console where I started the upgrade. Now dpkg is running but cannot proceed without clearing the prompt that I cannot see. What do? [00:49] Connor1, without knowing what ext3 partition you speak of i really can't help you but they forbid me to give crunchbang help here [00:49] Sucks for me [00:49] k-rad they're both Ubuntu who cares. [00:50] just out of curiosity, anyone trying out any new exciting OSes? [00:50] Connor1, they do. [00:50] blacksh33p: it's six in one half-dozen the other - I typically use apt-get, but they work about the same [00:50] Connor1: the channel policy is ubuntu support here - crunchbang support in the crunchbang channel [00:50] Oh well [00:50] Rules were meant to be broken [00:50] intrader: you're setting this variable in the .profile file, right? [00:50] Connor1: no they are not [00:50] rayzr_bern, i would lke to give opensolaris a shot, just for the heck of it [00:50] ikonia then why are they called rules? [00:50] yeats: blacksh33p: I can use either then yes? [00:50] mekos: yes [00:50] <_dennister> is there a channel for openoffice questions? I'm having an issue with the thesaurus [00:50] i have a laptop running win7.....i know.....and right now i'm on my netbook running ubuntu 10.10 with macbuntu theme....pretty slick.... [00:51] Connor1: so you know they are rules of the channel, [00:51] mekos: doesn't really matter today :) [00:51] !guidelines > Connor1 [00:51] Connor1, please see my private message [00:51] mekos: try both out for different things - you'll get a feel for the difference [00:51] rayzr_bern: this channel is for ubuntu support only, please [00:51] oh.... [00:51] Connor1, rules are broken all the time, they single out certain people more than they do others, but the ubuntu official rule is, no non-ubuntu support here [00:51] ok, i'll rephrase.... [00:51] yeats: I will try out both - thanks for everything.. [00:51] _dennister: #openoffice.org [00:51] lol [00:51] yeats, yes at the end of the .profile I say 'setenv VISUALWORKS="/home/intrader"' [00:51] <_dennister> ikonia: thx [00:51] mekos: yeats read description: apt-get hast super cow powers and aptitude doesnt :) [00:51] take care all - happy ubuntuing..

Ive setup passwordless login using my keys and that works, I own the target mounting directory. :/ [00:53] well [00:53] rayzr_bern: you need to ask a question to get support [00:53] there are some good os apart from ubuntu [00:53] i like fedora for example [00:53] or you can try opensuse [00:53] suse is nice.

[00:55] dragon: that sounds a real mess [00:55] this room's lame....l8r ikonia. [00:56] ikonia: hehe nice one *g [00:56] intrader: can you paste your .profile at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? [00:56] yeats, the shell is bash [00:56] ikonia: yes, it's hard to predict whether it'll come back up on next reboot. Can't afford to have this server down. Where do I start? [00:56] it's funnier because none of them have autorejoin on. [00:56] dragon: I'd kill the process, and re-start it [00:56] how do i get du to display the total size for each subdirectory of the current directory ? [00:56] ikonia: kill dpkg? [00:56] I'll attempt that. [00:57] dragon: it's a risk, but that's how I'd do it [00:57] Jygga: du does sub-dir's by default [00:57] dragon: is dpkg still running? [00:57] then my du has some wierd defaults [00:57] yeats, I will do so - I must go to another machine to get the pastebin command [00:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1619428 <------------ help me!!!! [00:57] Jygga: du -h . [00:57] ndxtg: please don't do that, ask a question [00:57] shcherbak: yes, and it's awaiting my input, which I can't provide. [00:57] !ask | ndxtg [00:57] ndxtg: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[00:59] that would explicitly not include the size of the subdirs [00:59] Jygga: --max-depth=1 [00:59] same thing [01:00] Jygga: ls -lh works too [01:00] :D [01:00] bacxk [01:00] shcherbak: I dropped to a shell to examing the apt-cacher-ng config files.

[01:04] shcherbak: I don't have retty installed, and I can't install it since an installation is currently in progress. [01:04] intrader: change the line to VISUALWORKS="/home/intrader/Projects/Smalltalk/Cincom/vw7.7nc" (no setenv) [01:04] Jygga: du --max-depth still fetches the total size for subdirectories, but won't display all of them. that sounds like exactly what you want.

I cannot login, it keeps complaining: Unable to cd to /home/user. So, I used the live cd to set a root password. Strace shows EACCES on execve() when I try to 'su user' from root and EACCES on chdir() when I try to 'login user'. Upgrade did not help. Anyone faced similar issues? Any pointers? [01:06] figured it out, minimal install needs acpi=force added as kernel parameter to enable usb keyboard [01:07] tinhead: ls -ld /home/user [01:07] clear [01:07] help [01:07] clear [01:07] maybe this room needs more IRC ops.

[01:09] no idea how far it'd get though. [01:09] yeats, :) success with this test, however if I start `bash`, the echo gives me blank. Why? [01:11] Random832: drwxr-xr-x, belongs to user,user [01:11] hi, running ubuntu 10.04 on a remote server, it was working great, updated as far as it will go. then i installed gnome for use over vnc...openvpn...asterix. all seemed ok until reboot. now i cant even get a ping. i go in thru rescue, not much obvious in logs that i can see [01:12] any ideas or quesses as to what i could have done to brick the install, and how to undo it? [01:12] Can I specify the location of a RSA key in the ssh command? [01:12] Anyone who used Awesome WM?

How do I find out what uid it runs as, and does it always run under that uid? [01:19] yeats, I still don't know. It is very confusing - 'login shell', 'interactive shell', interactive shells that is not a login shell, etc. [01:20] ikonia, shcherbak: killed dpkg and ran `sudo dpkg --configure -a`, installation continuing as expected. [01:20] hi, since it's late here, around how many time for install + partitionning ubuntu please? [01:21] Cernunnos_, 25 minutes [01:21] thanks [01:21] Cernunnos_, always a pleasure [01:22] netinstall on 56k *hrhr xD [01:24] I am trying to install Ubuntu onto my old computer through a CD drive, but the startup system isn't recognizing the iso file on the CD. Can somebody help? [01:24] intrader: you might benefit from reading up on this before continuing - here's a Google Books link to a book on the basics: http://goo.gl/noCf2 [01:25] Nathan_BS: it sounds like u buern [01:25] burned the iso file as a file [01:25] you need to burn it as an image [01:26] I used infrarecorder to burn the file onto the CD, like the Ubuntu site told me to [01:26] Did I have to change any settings? [01:26] yeats, when I set VISUALWORKS in .bashrc, it works. I will check out the link. [01:27] oh, i dunno then. never used that before [01:27] but if you look at the files on the cd and all you see is your one .iso file, its wrong [01:27] Nathan_BS: when you say that the startup system isn't recognizing the file, what exactly is happening? Does your computer skip the CD and boot into your OS? or is there an error? [01:27] the iso file is a disk image with lots of files [01:28] intrader: good [01:28] yeats, thanks for the help [01:28] for those who where here for that : http://paste.ubuntu.com/530333/ seems to be an image problem, seems to work with another iage [01:29] intrader: sure - good luck! [01:29] *image [01:29] Okay first I had to change the startup order from SATA to CD-ROM because it was checking the SATa first and finding windows, but then it kept saying it could not find an OS to start up on [01:30] well nevermind it doesn't work in fact lol [01:30] Nathan_BS: might be a bad burn... do you have more CDs? [01:31] hi. is there a way to mount an image in wine so it is recognized by game in wine? [01:32] I don't believe so. I have some DVD-RW's in the other room, though. A DVD would work right? [01:32] yes, it should work fine [01:33] Nathan_BS, I have a similar prolem if the disc is too thin or bad quality or so... [01:33] hblount: i think you could mount it to /media/cdrom or whatever then symlink that to ~/.wine/dosdevices/d: or something [01:33] Nathan_BS, you can also remove the HDD from the boot order using x in the BIOS boot menu [01:34] ipfilter seems to come with Ubuntu. How do I enable it? [01:34] I've already removed the HDD drive via the setup utility. I had to in order for it to attempt to start from the CD [01:35] hblount: oh. simpler method will be to run winecfg then add a drive letter pointing to the mount point [01:35] ok guys, I had an error trying to install ubuntu, I downloaded a different image and burnt it on another CD, i still have the first part of this error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/530333/ the second part is gone [01:35] now i have access to ubuntu menu, but it'l do that on installng and trying ubuntu... [01:36] what should I do? [01:36] hey guys is there a way to do a diff on two files and append the data to a text file? [01:36] w3rd__: diff file1 file2 >> text.file [01:37] w3rd__: diff x y > z [01:37] thats what i have been doing [01:37] but it only shows the redirection of the files [01:37] i just reformatted my system and am trying to dual boot windows with ubuntu 10.10. It says I cannot create more than 4 primary partitions (i am trying to make a data partition) [01:37] i need to to trunk the data that is the same [01:37] and only output the data that is different [01:37] w3rd__: note that > will overwrite text.file and >> will append text to it [01:37] do i need to use sed? [01:37] to filter the differences [01:38] how can i see and change what drivers are loading? i want to go on the assumption that its crashing on loading a driver early thats conflicting.. [01:39] I'm sorry, I mean iptables' [01:39] TheAlien: gui way or cli? [01:39] Okay just curious... If I burned the iso file onto a CD-RW, will I be able to delete the file and redo the entire burn? [01:39] cli since this thing isnt getting near boot.. itll be me with a remote rescue type system editing files [01:40] lsmod to see the modules then add the module to blacklist to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [01:42] im trying to mount an original xbox memory card in ubuntu, through a usb adapter. How do I do that? === 20QACJNGS is now known as tjackGNU [01:43] jeaton: prolly: sudo blkid that will give you what devices are present - then: sudo mount /dev/sdx /mnt (whatever it returns) [01:43] jeaton: may help, http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Mounting_FATX_partitions_HOWTO === Matias_ is now known as Matias [01:45] Hmm... a script I put in /etc/init.d/ didn't seem to execute. [01:45] pepperjack: you know of any way to see modules that will load on a system thats not running? im using a rescue system on a remote server [01:45] so i cant see the console, and its as if im running a livecd instead of the installed os. i can look at the disks but that os isnt whats running right now [01:46] anyone who study fortran?/ [01:46] what does "check memory" on install menu please? [01:47] if I make a symlink, do I have to do it every time my machine boots (or put it in a startup file) or is it permanent after you first make it? [01:48] its permanemt [01:49] Is there a tool like the BSD "script" that has more features or something on linux? [01:49] Cernunnos_: sounds like a memory check to me. I usually ignore, or bypass that. [01:49] the one that's in utils-ng is pretty nerfed [01:49] ok thanks, what if I am making a symlink from /media/external/ to ~/Desktop/Folder/ will it still work? given that the external drive has to be remounted when the machine is booted? [01:49] I want to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu... but i'd like to share hard drive space [01:50] can anyone tell me how i might do this? [01:50] ie what happens to symlinks to mounted media when the media is removed? [01:50] pitlimit: make extre fat partition [01:50] pitlimit, if you dual boot you can read the windows 7 partition, not sure if windows 7 can read the linux side [01:50] hm [01:50] aeMaeth: nope windows can't see linux [01:50] two answers! [01:51] pitlimit: you can see win partition on ubuntu, but not viceversa.. [01:51] oh ya, and you could make a 3rd "data" drive if you want [01:51] oh that's weird [01:51] i thought people do it al the time [01:51] pitlimit: make extra fat partition, and use links to have fast accces [01:51] pitlimit: the easiest (safest for your win7) is a WUBI install, goog that 'ubuntu wubi install' [01:51] why is it safest, greezmunkey ? [01:51] there was a program for xp that was experimental for reading ext3 [01:51] could someone help me with a dual boot/data partition question please? [01:51] pitlimit: windows can read ext3 linux partition with third party tool [01:51] greezmunkey: I dual boot, and have no issues [01:51] i was just downloading the regular one right now... [01:51] tom1: go [01:51] I have too many primary partitions (and i don't really know what i'm doing) [01:51] Blue1: not the point. [01:51] tom1: what you mean ?? [01:52] i have windows 7 (with system reserve), ubuntu 10.10 with swap partition [01:52] so i can't create the data partition (can't have more than 4 primary partitions) [01:52] greezmunkey: I always live in fear that windows will overwrite the partition. [01:52] pitlimit: safe because you install within win7. If you decide it works with your hardware, etc. you can dig in deeped, and repartition. [01:52] s/deeped/deeper [01:53] tom1: nuke the ubuntu partition, and make that an extended partition [01:53] greezmunkey: you mean for the sharing of the partitions, right? [01:53] Blue1: i think..we are on the same situation [01:53] or for ALL ubuntu dual-boots with windows? [01:53] 7 [01:53] blackshirt: ok [01:53] how do i list a directory into one line per directory or file? [01:53] which setting should i pick at setup? just "extended"? [01:53] tom1: / - primary, swap, /data /var /home - logical [01:54] shcherbak...sorry, translation please? [01:54] pitlimit: kind of. you would create a partition for win7, and some seperate ones for ubuntu. Then there is the whole partition resizing thing... [01:54] greezmunkey: i read that it will do it for me? [01:54] the install disk? [01:55] only boot partition need to be phisical, rest of system can be placed on extended partition. you can go further and read... [01:55] greezmunkey: i really don't understand what you're saying [01:56] pitlimit: do your homework first! Back up your win7 partition second. [01:56] so windows (and reserve), ubuntu and data will be primary? [01:56] pitlimit: what doing your homework on partitioning, and / or backing up your win7 partition??? [01:56] greezmunkey: you really aren't making sense [01:56] i'm not trying to be rude, but you're really not saying anything that i can decipher [01:56] tom1: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem [01:56] pitlimit, please, be polite. [01:56] aeMaeth: use find and search for all dir or files, it should print each one on one line [01:56] tjackGNU: i am, i am really not trying to be rude [01:57] but i cannot make heads or tails of what is being explained [01:57] okay so i need help with direct x. i keep getting a direct x error when i open call of duty. i have been trying to fix this ALL day. someone help me? [01:57] pitlimit, do no try; just don't be rude. [01:57] pitlimit: do you know how to manipulate partitions on a computer? [01:57] pitlimit: are both systems already installed, do you have place (unpartitioned) on your hard drive? [01:57] so only windows and the data need to be primary? [01:57] pitlimit, what is your *really* problem? [01:57] hxcjonnysniper: are you sure, ? what you mean with direct x..i think it's windows-based [01:58] yes greezmunkey [01:58] i read that the ubuntu install disk will do it for me [01:58] shcherbak: i am just starting the process now [01:58] tjackGNU: greezmunkey told me to use the WUBI install because it's safer [01:58] at least for windows 7 [01:59] but I don't understand why the WUBI install is safer? [01:59] neat jkazana, is there a way to control that for the directory it's in? say, if i only want it to list /home/user/Documents/ if i run it in documents? [01:59] pitlimit, why wubi? you do not have free space to create more partitions? [01:59] pitlimit: ok, then all you need to read up on is what partition requirements ubuntu requires (so much for the homework), next, and before you do any of it, back up your win7 partition. That's it! [01:59] pitlimit: ok, can you tell me how your hard drive look like? space used by Win7 etc. [01:59] i mounted and installed call of duty black ops and now when i go to run it an error pops up that says "direct x encountered an unrecoverable error" "check the readme for possible solutions" [01:59] So... no ideas for how to see/change what drivers load at startup on an os filesystem not currently being executed (ie examining what loads on an installed system from a live disk)? [01:59] WUBI installs within your Windows partiion, and can be uninstalled eaasier pitlimit [01:59] pitlimit: i think safe to try..not for daily use... [02:00] why blackshirt ? [02:00] i don't want to use the WUBI installation [02:00] blackshirt:i mounted and installed call of duty black ops and now when i go to run it an error pops up that says "direct x encountered an unrecoverable error" "check the readme for possible solutions" [02:00] am I ok if I just do a regular disk install? === Alexander3 is now known as Alexander [02:00] is LVM the same as an extended partition? [02:00] hey, I have a wubi installation, is there a way I can access files within ubuntu from windows? [02:00] My understanding is that the Ubuntu install disc will handle the install for me [02:00] oops the repartition [02:00] Hi, I've just got Maverick Meerkat to run... can someone tell me how to fix the fonts? They look really 'fat' for some reason. I've installed ttf-mscorefonts and Tahoma from my Windows partition, but I can't seem to make it look slimmer [02:00] pitlimit, you could loose the Windows 7 partition. Take care. [02:00] pitlimit: I suggested wubi so that you can try it out on your PC. If that goes well, and everything works you should be able to confidently set it up on a dedicated partition. [02:01] tom1: lvm is big step ahead [02:01] sure, just specify where to start: find /path/to/search -type d [02:01] greezmunkey: thanks [02:01] pitlimit: wubi placed ubuntu system on windows partition likes other program/software under windows, you can uninstall it...not on dedicated partition.. [02:01] I don't want to try it [02:01] !dualboot | pitlimit [02:01] pitlimit: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:01] I just want to plunge in :) [02:01] pitlimit, it's not so "peace of cake" like you're imagining.... [02:01] whats going on with the temporary files that torrent clients make that report file sizes that they don't actually occupy or take up on the drive? [02:01] do a man find for more [02:01] shcherbak: sorry, just to be sure of the order [02:01] how is that possible [02:01] tjackGNU: I've done it before with XP... is it dif for Windows 7? [02:01] tom1: go on [02:01] shcherbak: do i create the ntfs data partition before doing the linux install? [02:01] I've heard WUBI has overhead [02:02] oi [02:02] pitlimit: are you asking whether it's safe to dual boot Win7/Ubuntu? [02:02] tom1: you shaoud install windows before linux, otherwise you may need to reinstall grub [02:02] nickserv identify hercules1 [02:03] jkazana, thanks [02:03] okay, i have windows and linux newly installed right now [02:03] can i just have ubuntu and swap share a partition? [02:03] yeats - i'm just going to do an install now [02:03] pitlimit, not a little bit. Just one thing: if you have free (UNPARTITIONED) space on your HD, Ubuntu Installation process will take care of it all. And I mean free space on your HD, not in your "C:" partition... [02:04] pitlimit: it is safe - just back up Win7 first and ask here if you hit trouble === AndrewMC is now known as SpockVulcan [02:04] pitlimit: the cool thing about a wubi install is that you can get things set up on ubuntu without the pain of partitioning up front. Then back up your config files for use once you decide to partition and reinstall. That, and it lets you jump right in without the potential of destroying your win7 setup. [02:04] greezmunkey: but as a regular linux user, I don't want the overhead that WUBI creates [02:04] hello [02:04] thanks tjackGNU point noted - I've got a ton of free space [02:04] StevenZhang: hello [02:04] hey, I have a wubi installation, is there a way I can access files within ubuntu from windows? [02:04] help me please [02:05] i am trying to install GNUstep-devel [02:05] so no one knows what to do with this direct x error? [02:05] yes, i get it, but , when i am trying to start ProjectCenter [02:05] I get Segment Fault [02:05] pitlimit: I had to assume that you were not a regular linux user up front, for that I am sorry - but it does beg the question "why ask about it in the first place"... [02:05] greezmunkey: do you even remember my question? [02:06] pitlimit, then boot with the Ubuntu CD install and make exactly like you did with WinXP. But READ carefully what's on screen. [02:06] thanks tjackGNU [02:06] pitlimit: pitlimit> I want to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu... but i'd like to share hard drive space [02:06] any idea [02:06] 17:50 < pitlimit> can anyone tell me how i might do this? [02:06] right [02:06] So uh.... no one finds Ubuntu default fonts ugly eh [02:06] there ya go.. thus my question [02:06] Blue1: what did you mean by nuke ubuntu and put it on an extended partition? [02:07] my question had nothing to do about linux directly [02:07] pitlimit, you cannot share space between Windows 7 (NTFS) and Linux (ext*)... It's just impossible. [02:07] hxcjonnysniper: i don't have experience with direct x on linux.. [02:07] got it - I don't use windows that much, tjackGNU , so I'll probably just abandon the idea [02:08] I got a problem with Empathy on ubuntu when I type "favorite" it hilight as incorrecct. [02:08] blackshirt, that's because GNU/Linux doesn't have DirectX or whatsoever. [02:08] Agent001: I think it's set to British English :P [02:08] Agent001: maybe your language/location settings?? [02:08] Slix`: ;) [02:08] Due to the length and complexity of my situation I have posted my entire problem in a pastebin file> http://pastebin.com/CBA8p17k If anyone can help me in repairing my ubuntu OS it would be greatly appreciated. [02:09] pitlimit: linux, can acces windows parition directly, with vfat/ntfs-3g module.. windows can access ext2/ext linux partition but with adding third party software [02:09] pitlimit, you can do this: make Ubuntu use ALL your hard drive for installation. And welcome to the free world! ;-) [02:09] Oh wow.. it's fixed. Thanks guys [02:09] :) [02:09] I'll keep Windows just in case an emergency situation comes up =p [02:09] pitlimit, Windows *is* an emergency itself.... [02:09] tjackGNU: hxcjonnysniper ask about direct x error..maybe sound strange for me..i think he was using wine [02:09] no kidding... [02:10] :) [02:10] well, mostly in case I have to run something for class on Windows... :) [02:11] pitlimit, try install Ubuntu and make the partitioning, but DO NOT GO FURTHER (then no changes will be saved). If you think that is the way, just go, man! Try it. [02:12] blackshirt, so ask him to go to Wine's channel... [02:12] shcherbak: can i just install ubuntu as logical off the live cd? [02:13] will the iso work on a dvd-r, or does it have to be cd-r? [02:13] tjackGNU: thank's bro.. [02:13] tom1, the only partition that need to be primary is '/' or '/boot'... [02:13] DuckMaestro: I installed from DVD-r so it should be fine. [02:13] blackshirt, you are welcome. [02:13] both dvd and cd will be ok [02:14] tjackGNU: does swap count as primary? [02:14] ty [02:14] I think the virtualbox would be helpful [02:14] may be! [02:14] tom1: i don't think so [02:14] tom1: main partition should be phisical (it do contains bootloader) [02:14] tom1, no... And if you have more than 2GB of RAM, do not create more than 1.0GB~1.5GB for /swap [02:15] when I first time try ubuntu I run it in virtualbox [02:15] i have 1) ntsf system reserve 2) windows 7 3) / ext4 4)extended (with linux-swap) === Phoebus is now known as |9nertia| [02:15] is this 4 primaries (gparted says so) [02:15] i have 4 GB of ram [02:15] tom1, just do this: '/' as primary, '/swap' and '/home' as logical. It's done. [02:15] Wegue: Good for you. === |9nertia| is now known as Apollonian [02:16] tom1: which are primaries? win7 and? [02:16] Tom1: RAM does not matter. [02:16] i think the 100 MB system reserve that windows installs [02:16] tom1, then '/swap' is just going to make ou waste space... Create a /swap of about 1.0GB at MAX.... === Apollonian is now known as p00pm0b|l [02:16] Swap can be on an extended partition, if you install from the cd and tell it to use "entire disk" it will place swap on an extended partition by default. [02:16] commodore, explain yourself. === willie_ is now known as h34rts [02:16] ??? [02:16] tom1: whats 2... win7 reverse === SpockVulcan is now known as AndrewMC [02:17] commodore, "ram does not matter." [02:17] He was explaining a partitioning issue, yet stated his RAM [02:17] tjackGNU: lol [02:17] 1) system reserved, 2) windows 7, 3) ubuntu, 4) "exended" with linux-swap under it [02:18] I have a 1.66ghz system, why does xboard start so large? [02:18] and i just want to make ntfs with my unallocated space i have left but have no partitions left [02:18] pastebin file> http://pastebin.com/CBA8p17k here is my problem in a pastebin thanks to anyone that can help. [02:18] commodore, of course... With 4GB of RAM you will never use more than 1 GB of RAM... Just if you're using doing big workloads, like database and etc.... [02:18] Only 4 primRy partitions allowed, tom1. [02:19] right, is swap primary? [02:19] It should be logical. [02:19] i want 1) windows reserve 2) windows 3) ubuntu 4) ntfs data partition [02:19] tom1: swapoff and well [02:19] I suggest deleting System Reserved [02:19] so did i just mess up the swap partition when i installed? [02:19] hi. anyone know if i can get updates for battle net (starcraft) within the game, or do i need to do something manually with wine? [02:19] Windows doesn't really need it. [02:20] Maybe. [02:20] tom1, [1] S.R. [2] Win7, [3] /boot (ext3), [5] / (ext4) [6] /swap [02:20] tom1, that's it. [02:20] I dont think ubuntu supports starcraft 1 anymore, only starcraft 2. [02:21] tjackGNU: i would like my data partition to share between the two...that was a goal of me reformatting === p00pm0b|l is now known as Phoebus [02:21] "/"&"swap" that's my partition [02:21] gg22: are you set quota ?? [02:21] tom1, what do you mean by 'data partition'? [02:22] gg22: set quota ?? what do you mean? [02:22] tjackGNU: common for win and linux, ntfs [02:22] just a big ntfs partition that i'll keep all my files on so windows and ubuntu can both see it [02:22] gg22: your home on separate partition ?? [02:23] shcherbak, it's better create a FAT32 filesystem for this purpose. [02:23] hblount: refer to Wine's irc. [02:23] tjackGNU: I know, he does not [02:23] tom1, create a FAT32 partition. [02:23] blackshirt: no My os is on my laptop harddrive but when I did that photo rec on my external drive last night i think it did something to screw up my partitions but I'm not 100% sure how or what exactly the problem is. [02:23] i need files larger than 4GB though [02:23] shcherbak, so why do you does not answered him? o.O [02:24] ^_^ [02:24] tjackGNU: I told him 15 minutes ago to make fat for both. [02:24] blackshirt: I do have dual boot also and i can safely say my windows is working fine despite my ubuntu's problem right now. [02:24] Who codes Python? lol. Anyone for 3.0? [02:24] tom1, what about an ext2 partition? But in Windows you have to use ext2explorer (it's a tiny program....) [02:25] How about ditching Windows altogether. You know you want to. [02:25] xD [02:25] commodore: Haha! [02:26] tjackGNU: I'm sorry this has gotten complicated [02:26] shcherbak, ok, sorry. I'm lost about all this questions about partitioning a hard drive... Seems like hey never used "format.exe" in their lifes. [02:26] gg22: your picture showed a lot of free space.. is it right ?? [02:26] tom1, it's complicated 'cause you don't make any effort to explain with more details your problem... === BrownR_ is now known as BrownR [02:27] tjackGNU: i've explained several times [02:27] tjackGNU: all i want is a big shared ntfs partition [02:27] tjackGNU: not ext2 or fat32 [02:27] tom1, you just asked, and asked, and asked... We need details. [02:27] tjackGNU: do you need more details? [02:27] tom1, no. [02:27] gg22: I would say it is true since I can check my actual user account and it shows nowhere near the maximum amount of filling that partition up. I set aside like 285 Gb for linux then like 150 for windows. [02:28] tjackGNU: i don't understand why it says i have 4 primary partitions if swap is not primary [02:28] blackshirt: I would say it is true since I can check my actual user account and it shows nowhere near the maximum amount of filling that partition up. I set aside like 285 Gb for linux then like 150 for windows. [02:28] tjackGNU: i think tom1 want to use ntfs partition shared between windows and ubuntu ... [02:28] tom1, you can create a HUGE ntfs partition. Both Windows and Linux gonna see it. No problem at all. So WHAT IS YOUR REALLY PROBLEM? [02:28] tjackGNU: i can't create the partition because it says i already have 4 primary partitions [02:29] tom1, and don't you have them? [02:29] Evening everyone, I tried installing the PPA for Compiz 0.9, and CCSM crashes when trying to activate plugins [02:29] tjackGNU: people here are saying swap doesn't count as primary...so i count 3 [02:30] tom1, OOPS! If you created /swap as a primary one, it does count like a primary partition, yes. [02:30] tom1, can ou tell me your partition scheme? [02:31] tjackGNU: sure, what's the fdisk option? (if that's what i'm supposed to be using) [02:31] gg22: you say have other pastebin for error, can you show it ?? [02:31] tom1, why you're using fdisk? [02:31] tjackGNU, but the command is "fdisk -l".... [02:32] tom1, but the comand is "fdisk -l"... [02:32] tjackGNU: okay, how should i do it? [02:32] tjackGNU: (without fdisk) [02:32] tom1, are you already try to boot with the install CD? [02:33] tom1, it's all graphical... [02:33] tjackGNU: i installed 10.10 last night (i'm not on the cd right now) [02:33] tom1: swapoff [02:34] tom1: and remove swap partition [02:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/530417/ [02:34] tom1, I'm REALLY cant understand what's going on there.... [02:34] with unity, how do i open a second terminal? [02:34] pressing the teminal button on the launcher just selects the open one already [02:34] shcerbak: what is swapoff? is it bad to not have swap space? [02:35] shcherback: sorry === david is now known as Guest4534 [02:35] tom1, ok. [02:35] tom1, do you have pencil and paper? [02:36] tjackGNU: yes [02:36] Can we expect Compiz 0.9 to be standard in 11.04? [02:36] tom1, ok. Do exactly what I'm gonna write... But, please, wait until I finish. [02:37] tjackGNU: okay [02:37] xTheGoat121x, that I am not sure of I do know that netbook will have compiz instead of mutter however [02:38] cozziemoto, that's at least good cuz it runs terribly on mine. [02:38] xTheGoat121x, a stable release of 0.9.x is not out yet even for testing [02:38] xTheGoat121x, that is one of the big reasons for the switch from mutter to compiz [02:40] tom1, just push this buttons, in this order: d, 5, d, 4, d, 3, n, 3, , +17.5G, n, 4, , , t, 4, 82, w [02:40] tom1, that's it. [02:41] sudo or no? [02:41] Wicd stopped picking up wireless networks the other day, and a reboot hasn't fixed the problem. What will? [02:41] tom1, you will delete al the partitions and create them again. But I do not know wh you are using fdisk... The Ubuntu install disk is so much better to see. [02:42] tom1, you can't be logged on in Ubuntu... [02:42] /wc [02:42] ShayGuy, made sure it's not an hardware problem? [02:42] tjackGNU: I was only using fdisk to get the partition list...i originally set the partition using the cd [02:43] tom1, but you set it "wrong". Why create an extended partition just to pu your /swap? [02:43] tjackGNU: i know i set it wrong, i was just clarifying that i wasn't using fdisk [02:44] tjackGNU: what will your setup do? [02:44] so i setup my network share from ubuntu 10 and windows 7 for my server, i have 3 things shared on my win7 machine, music, users and my entire S: drive. I can access music and users but the S: drive asked me for my password and network. There is no password. any ideas? thanks [02:44] tom1, my setup? I don't get it? How is my partition scheme? [02:44] ok... before i start, PLEASE no snide coments about SET being bad. [02:45] KimLaRoux, I'm pretty sure, but I don't know how to be absolutely certain. The switch on the outside does nothing. [02:45] I keep getting errors in Social Engineer toolkit [02:45] tjackGNU: sorry, yes, how will the partitions be set? [02:45] I keep getting errors in social engineer toolkit. I used the svn to get the files, but there are no metasploit or mailsend files. can anyone help me? [02:47] I keep getting errors in social engineer toolkit. I used the svn to get the files, but there are no metasploit or mailsend files. can anyone help me? [02:47] my wireless is much more flaky in 10.10 than previous ubuntu versions. Is there anything I can do? [02:48] I keep getting errors in social engineer toolkit. I used the svn to get the files, but there are no metasploit or mailsend files. can anyone help me? [02:48] ANYONE?? [02:48] tom1, mine is [1] S.R. (ntfs) {primary} || [2] Win7 (ntfs) {primary} || [3] /boot (ext3 150MB) {primary} || [4] EXTENDED>> [5] /swap (2.0 GB) || [6] / (ext4 rest of my HD) [02:48] brianBTB: try flooding the channl.. lol [02:49] hellphyre, eh?? [02:49] STOP flooding the channel [02:49] ok [02:49] tjackGNU: I'm sorry, is that for my computer? [02:50] still, can anyone help? [02:50] lol [02:50] wow [02:50] tom1, no. You asked about MY partition scheme... It's a sugestion to you, too. [02:50] has anyone know how to do this but backwards? http://morison.biz/technotes/articles/61 [02:51] tjackGNU: sorry, what I asked, I meant the setup your instructions would create for me [02:51] does anyone know how to launch a .run file? [02:51] hello everyone~ [02:51] rather than hosting on windows, hosting on ubuntu a virtualbox windows but let windows access a http://localhost domain set on the apache2 running on the ubuntu [02:51] hi [02:51] first time login [02:51] tom1, just press that inside fdisk. Without the commas... [02:52] tjackGNU: i just wanted to know what the end result will be, before i start deleting things [02:52] there should be someone here that has done this perhaps? has anyone know how to do this but backwards? http://morison.biz/technotes/articles/61 rather than hosting on windows, hosting on ubuntu a virtualbox windows but let windows access a http://localhost domain set on the apache2 running on the ubuntu [02:53] What folder can I add a program for every user? /bin ? [02:53] does anyone know how to launch a .run file? i know i am spamming but my report is due in the morning. and I need to get SET working to hit my teacher with a file. it is for a report on school security [02:53] uLinux, /usr/bin [02:53] edbian: tks [02:53] for Computer Engineering [02:53] uLinux, /bin will work but it is improper [02:53] tom1, try it. Until you press 'w' NOTHING will happen with your HD. If you think that will not gonna be ok, just press 'q' and find another way. [02:53] brainBTB: ./yourfile.run try it [02:54] join #banjarmasin [02:54] tjackGNU: can't you just give me the breakdown? [02:54] sorry, i get a network error. [02:55] How can I reinstall sound drivers? [02:55] still remember my gnustep problem? [02:55] tom1, what is a breakdown? Sorry, I'm brazilian and my english is not the 'coolest' one. [02:55] anybody know an audicity channel..? there's no file menu bar in my audacity window.. can anyone help me? [02:56] Or how can I reinstall anything that has to do with sound? drivers, alsa, pulseaudio. [02:56] brianBTB: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gaming-multimedia-entertainment/35202-installing-run-files.html [02:56] uLinux, Well to reinstall alsa you sudo apt-get reinstall alsa [02:56] uLinux, But linux sound is very complicated. Additionally I don't know how your system is setup right now. [02:56] tjackGNU: i apologize for the confusion. I just wanted to know how you want me to partition my drive [02:56] edbian: it's just im having a problem that would be solved if i reinstalled ubuntu but now i dont have time [02:57] uLinux, http://www.tuxradar.com/content/how-it-works-linux-audio-explained [02:57] hi here, how can I uninstall a graphic controler ? [02:57] hellphyre, thnx [02:57] uLinux, reinstalling ubuntu will probably fix the problem. It won't teach you anything though. (it is extremely unlikely that you HAVE to reinstall) [02:57] yeah [02:57] uLinux, yeah [02:58] sh myfile.run worked [02:58] lol [02:58] tom1, just push this buttons, in this order: d, 5, d, 4, d, 3, n, 3, , +17.5G, n, 4, , , t, 4, 82. Then, press p to see what is gonna look like. If you liked: w. If you don't: q. [02:58] how can i view my own webcam? [02:58] brianBTB: 2nd reult listed via google. Thank LArry Page [02:58] Sean93_, using an app like cheese [02:58] why dont they make a standart for sound system, etc [02:58] . [02:58] Sean93_: vlc is handy for that [02:59] uLinux, They do. They make several. That's the problem. There are too many things doing different jobs. [02:59] tjackGNU: is there just an easy way to do it off the live cd? [02:59] Sean93_, sudo apt-get install cheese [02:59] uLinux, The real problem is "what is the perfect sound system" [02:59] pepperjack, how? [02:59] edbian: they should work together in only one sound system [02:59] :( [02:59] tom1, boot with the live CD again! [03:00] same for packages [03:00] tjackGNU: okay, then what? [03:00] uLinux, Read the article :) You have choices in the linux world. [03:00] .deb is alright [03:00] ok [03:00] Sean93_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143732 [03:00] uLinux, It's not that I don't enjoy talking about this sort of thing. It's just that we're offtopic. Additionally I think you should read up on it before you cast judgement ;) [03:01] tom1, can you read?! I'm really stressed with you. Just put the CD, choose your language, and go for it, man! In 7 clicks you are done! [03:01] edbian: yeah ;) [03:02] tjackGNU: i'm sorry you're stressed with me...i know how to boot with the cd...please tell me what options to use my 7 clicks on and you can be done with me === n is now known as Guest72137 [03:02] tom1, just follow the instructions. Don't be hurry. It's easier than you ever imagine.... [03:04] Nobody wants any help with anything? [03:04] tjackGNU: i don't use fdisk (another apparent misunderstanding), if you just tell me how to set the partitions when i install you can be rid of me [03:04] tom1, What are you trying to do? [03:04] tom1, Just use the installer. It has a partition er (an automatic one) [03:04] s [03:05] there should be someone here that has done this perhaps? has anyone know how to do this but backwards? http://morison.biz/technotes/articles/61 rather than hosting on windows, hosting on ubuntu a virtualbox windows but let windows access a http://localhost domain set on the apache2 running on the ubuntu [03:05] SOLIDUS: I'm trying to dual boot windows and ubuntu with a data partition but when i try to allocate the space it says i already have 4 primary partitions [03:05] tom1, put the CD, boot, choose your language, and FOLLOW THE SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS. [03:05] hi here, can someone help me with graphic controler ? [03:05] tjackGNU: FOLLOW THE SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS to do what? what options do i use? [03:06] cordoval_, There is some guest editions thing that lets you do that [03:06] tom1, You should ask in the channel for your language so that you understand better. [03:06] tom1, Would you be using Wubi or the LiveCD? [03:06] edbian: isn't this english? [03:06] tom1, BOOT THE DAMN CD AND YOU'LL SEE IT IN YOUR SCREEN! [03:06] edbian: oh true, I forgot about them, will check now [03:06] tom1: yeah (sorry if I offended you) [03:07] cordoval_, yep :) [03:07] tom1, you are trying to make a mind-installation... It's absurd! [03:07] tom1, nothing will happen until you boot with the install disk and follow the instructions. [03:08] edbian: where should I look, i have the window open and menu "Machine, Devices, Help" I go under Devices but [03:08] lol [03:08] Hey, does anyone here have any knowledge with truecrypt? I'm using an Ubuntu LiveCD to currently access my system, due to this reason: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=13021 [03:08] cordoval_, Is it not there. I'm afraid I don't know. I bet though that there is a package in the repos for it. [03:08] edbian: package in the repos means... [03:08] I'd be made up If someone could help me, I have lots of data on this drive, which I can access via the LiveCD, but I want to be able to boot my original os, just not happening. [03:09] Well, it's been 20 minutes. I have to go. [03:09] edbian: notice that this guy does it inversely http://morison.biz/technotes/articles/61 for windows [03:09] It would be a shame that we cannot do it for ubuntu [03:09] edbian: it's fine, am i really that confusing? [03:09] tom1, and I'm done with you... You don't wnat to learn. You want that I imagine what is going to happen there, and give you some "answers"... It's not that way. For that cases it's that exist something called WUBI.EXE... [03:10] i'm trying to hard to learn and you just tell me to boot the damn cd and call me absurd [03:10] i have a 470 and a 260, when enabling my tv via seprate x screen it says cannot apply... any ideas? [03:10] cordoval_, yeah I see that. Open synaptic. Those are the repos [03:10] tom1, Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attentions :P [03:10] tom1, but that is the step zero: boot the CD. Then you follow the screen instructions and voilá! [03:11] no truecrypt experts here? [03:11] tom1, Did you boot the CD? What is your question? [03:11] what do u need to know about trucrypt [03:11] edbian: synaptic opened, now ... virtualbox? [03:11] echo31 [03:12] tjackGNU: i understand i need to boot off the cd...but i'm not clear on the options i should be using when i set the swap partition (which is apparently why i have 4 primary partitions currently) [03:12] http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=13021 [03:12] cordoval_, I found this btw: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#additions-windows [03:12] I got this response "It is possible but if your running apache2 on the host you will have to configure your network settings of the guest to be bounded device instead of a NATed device...." [03:12] reading it now [03:12] edbian: reading your link ... [03:12] cordoval_, I'm not sure if it's in the repos. I just said maybe. I have no idea what the package might be named. I'd begin by searching "virtual box" these are just guesses. [03:12] cordoval_, k [03:13] edbian: i just want to change my setup so i'm not using 4 primary partitions so i can set my current unallocated space as a shared ntfs drive [03:13] tom1, you have 4 primary partitions. The Extended partition IS a primary... [03:13] tom1: Please understand that this is not a formal technical support organization, people here are volunteers. There is the expectation that a few words will point someone like yourself in the right direction, and then that person would quitely work towards a solution, chiming in now and then for additional guidance only after reading up on their problem on their own. [03:13] tom1, You can only have 4 primary partitions on a hdd. You need to create an "extended" or "logical" partition. Inside the extension you can put logical partitions that don't count as one of your 4 primary. [03:13] tom1, go here scroll down until number 4 and click on "Show me how". That's it. [03:14] tom1, Use the live CD and gparted to re-arrange the HDD partitions [03:14] edbian: okay, how do i set swap so it's not a primary? [03:14] jake ur not gonna like my answer but it sounds like it overwrote part of the encryption freezing the disk... u cant partition after you encrypt without doing through the probram or un encrypting the drive [03:15] tom1, delete it, create a new partition inside an extended partition, make that new partition swap [03:15] tom1, delete it. [03:15] echo31, I decrypted the disk already. [03:15] I can access my files using liveCD [03:15] but u did it after the partition correct [03:15] I just want to be able to boot back into my OS. [03:15] yes. [03:16] I did it when I couldn't logon. [03:16] anyone know a guide for installing ubuntu on latest gen mac-mini? im running into an issue. [03:16] I just want to get rid of this annoying truecrypt pre-boot auth crap and boot. [03:16] DuckMaestro, What's the issue? It should just install. [03:16] I used the recovery disk with win7 to try and repair the MBR, no help. [03:16] i need help configuring direct x with wine. [03:17] edbian, i see the low-res pair of icons, then hear cd spinning for a few minutes, then just black screen [03:17] someone? [03:17] anyone? [03:17] lol. [03:17] i realize what your saying and i think your screwed 99% sure [03:17] DuckMaestro, Oh it won't boot at all? Check the CD. Do you get any errors at all? [03:17] So I'll have to backup all my shit onto a drive + reinstall Windblows?

[03:18] correct.. if u can even get a backup off the hdd [03:18] no errors, but i verified my burn after it finished. though that's not to say the disc didnt lose integrity between then and beginning the install [03:18] Yeah, As I said, I'm able to edit/check files on my hdds using ubuntu [03:18] JakeCulpin, you'll have to do this on Windows: [1] /fixboot [2] /fixmbr, [3] bootsect /nt60 ALL /force /mbr. This you will make after you boot with the CD, and you gonna click on "Repair my computer", and then select the Command prompt.... [03:18] edbian: so there is no way i can play cod on linux? i have seen videos on youtube and stuff. [03:19] DuckMaestro, If it won't boot with 0 errors you either have a bad cd or bad hardware. Sometimes though it's just that Ubuntu doesn't like the hardware (usually that doesn't happen with a mac since they're so cookie-cutter and common) [03:19] hxcjonnysniper, You have to use wine [03:19] tjack dont forget its encrypted [03:19] tjackGNU, I'm assuming you want me to do this at the recovery menu command prompt? [03:19] echo31, the drive itself has been decrypted. [03:19] hxcjonnysniper, I have no experience setting it up, I do not know how well it works. [03:19] oh [03:19] took me 48 hours, decrypted the WHOLE drive [03:19] edbian: in my case neither display port (whether apple mini port or hdmi) seems to be outputting a signal. tried two diff monitors separately. [03:19] Okay, back. Wicd still isn't working. [03:20] hxcjonnysniper: unless cod has a switch for opengl probably not [03:20] anyone notices there is something wrong with man page of netstat..... [03:20] echo310infantry, they just want they Windows back... That's what these commands will do. [03:20] then just run reco disk [03:20] wondering if its only me... or there is something wrong [03:20] DuckMaestro, mmm, you didn't even get the boot menu on the CD? [03:20] I've ran it.. like 40 times. [03:20] edbian: no. just the pair of icons at the bottom, then spinning, then no signal [03:20] and yet, the truecrypt **** still comes up ._. [03:20] can i just delete the swap partition and add a swap file in / ? [03:20] i have a gtx470 and a gtx260, when enabling my tv via seprate x screen it says cannot apply... any ideas? [03:21] edbian: i am using wine. but when i go to start it i get "DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error" [03:21] DuckMaestro, sounds like the disc is scratched [03:21] Exploiter: it looks fine to me [03:21] as i said before i think ur screwed [03:21] JakeCulpin, nope. Boot with the Windows DVD, then "Install", and then "Repair my computer", there will be some more options and you'll choose a command prompt and you'll excte those commands. [03:21] try what gnu said though [03:21] edbian: ok ill try a new burn... [03:21] tjackGNU, Yeah i did that before, apart from one of those, so I shall try. [03:21] hxcjonnysniper, yeah, what you're trying to do is complicated. You probably need specific knowledge about this version of COD in wine. Have you googled it? [03:21] rww: my man page is not showing argument options, like -an etc [03:21] hxcjonnysniper, I'm sure others have tried [03:21] It did say " the volume does not contain a recognized file system" [03:21] DuckMaestro, worth a shot. Sometimes you get strange problems like this. (also you might wanna try other distros) [03:21] etc [03:22] JakeCulpin, then you'll have your Windows again. [03:22] tjackGNU: noo windows [03:22] JakeCulpin, the MBR have a filesystem? [03:22] Exploiter: mine shows both -a and -n :\ [03:22] edbian: yeah its a common error though. windows or not. i have been looking ALL day on how to fix it. i just really hope i didnt waste 50 dollars. [03:22] tjackGNU: thank you for your help and patience, i apologize for frustrating you [03:23] hxcjonnysniper: 50$ [03:23] rww: nevermind, will reinstall it, thx anyways.. [03:23] hxcjonnysniper, Don't give up so early! :) [03:23] tom1, don't excuses, please... It's 01:20 AM here... I'm just tired. Good luck. [03:23] hxcjonnysniper: whats broken [03:23] tjackGNU, as far as I know. [03:23] edbian: oh im not. =] [03:24] tjackGNU: thanks, i'll figure it out [03:24] gogeta: im trying to run call of duty black ops through wine. i have it installed and everything but when i click on it i get a direct x error that says "DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error" [03:24] tjackGNU, this is Windows7 btw. [03:24] is anyone very familiar with nvidia x server? [03:24] is there a way to retrieve a file from another disk partion? [03:25] mint, yeah [03:25] mint u can mount it [03:25] hello [03:25] mint, mount the partition, get the file ;) [03:25] hxcjonnysniper: wine help can be found in #winehq [03:25] JakeCulpin, well... I had the same problem with a criptographed disk, and afer those commands in the Windos installation, I was able to boot in it again. [03:25] tom1: yes, you can add swap as a file. reference here:: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [03:25] I'm still having trouble with my sound. [03:25] hxcjonnysniper: Had to use "winetricks d3dx9 vcrun2005" and a no-dvd patch. [03:25] is anyone very familiar with nvidia x server? [03:25] I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu and mint and ubuntu broke (long story) [03:25] tjackGNU, yeah. Windows 7. I didn't expected nothing else. ;) [03:25] I am to a degree. [03:26] hxcjonnysniper: thats what it sayd for that game in winedb but sound will not work [03:26] anyway, I'd really like to get my files off the ubuntu section [03:26] mint, easy [03:26] i have a gtx470 and a gtx260, when enabling my tv via seprate x screen it says cannot apply... any ideas? [03:26] mint, pm me? [03:26] bastidrazor: thanks, that's what i was reading...just wanted to make sure that wasn't a bad idea [03:26] echo310infantry, already google'it? [03:26] yes [03:26] gogeta: ive edit the registry and everything. [03:27] hxcjonnysniper: it needs winetrick dx9 and cvrun2005 installed [03:27] ok, lets see if it worked [03:27] hxcjonnysniper: winetricks can install dx9 and vcrun2005 [03:27] nope [03:27] still got that truecrypt password screen [03:27] hxcjonnysniper: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21918&iTestingId=58657 [03:27] jake for real... its screwed [03:27] is there is any graphical tool to find out open ports in linux? [03:28] terminal [03:28] network tools [03:28] JakeCulpin, that's why I hate so bad this crypt-stuffs... This is for Osama Bin Laden's PC... [03:28] :\ [03:28] with compiz, I cannot get any windows space on my 3d sphere [03:28] tjack.. is there a channel for my question that u are aware of? [03:29] gogeta: i dont have a problem with the sound. the game wont start. [03:29] swim make sure u have at least 4 windows [03:29] i do [03:29] tjackGNU, yeah [03:29] hxcjonnysniper: being you peobly lack thkse 3 things [03:29] echo310infantry, no. I'm new for here. Sorry. [03:29] gogeta:? [03:29] hxcjonnysniper: read comment nedded those things just to getit to work lacking sound [03:29] swim have u rebooted? [03:30] and updated? [03:30] yes, several times [03:30] google for config files [03:30] do you know if there are any settings that will conflict with the space?? [03:30] not that im aware of [03:31] hxcjonnysniper: game has a silver rating [03:31] it was working just fine.. [03:31] then it just quit working [03:31] gogeta:?????? [03:31] swim, if a black hole became huge, it can conflict with the space... [03:31] gogeta:this has nothing to do with my problem? [03:31] uload then reload in package mgr [03:31] hello. my programs associated with my webcam are using the wrong device as the source. where do i go to change the default settings? programs like cheese and weborama dont have a prefrences item regarding input devices [03:31] hxcjonnysniper: then you fail to understand your issue use windows [03:32] if a black hole became huge enough, it would conflict with everthing [03:32] wrektjet, go to System / Preferences / Multimedia Systems Selector [03:32] gogeta: my problem is with direct x. not sound. [03:32] hxcjonnysniper: READ! [03:32] swim: not with chuck norris [03:32] Exploiter, yeah! [03:32] hxcjonnysniper: d3dx9 is directx [03:33] no doubt.. it'll subtly sneak around chuck [03:33] tjackGNU, i donyt seem to have that option. im using 10.04 [03:33] hello everyone [03:33] ill find it.. [03:33] Wicd hasn't been picking up wireless networks since yesterday, even after a reboot. I can't remember what has to be done at the terminal. [03:33] woniu: hello [03:34] wrektjet, do you have it, for sure. Just right-button click on the menus and "Edit menus". Then scroll to System / Preferences / and [x] mark this option. Voilá! [03:34] what is .cue file [03:34] well, i'm going to go check on this in the compiz channel.. thanks guys [03:34] hxcjonnysniper: but even with the directx fixed it will not have sound [03:35] woniu: .cue files tell .bin files where to write on a cd... [03:35] woniu, it's a file that says what is have to be donne with the image file (.iso or whatsover).... [03:35] hey im using kate for programing but in my university kate can open the terminal in it self but in ubuntu it cannot oben the terminal in itself ? does someone know why ?? [03:35] tjackGNU, awesome thanks a lot. [03:35] gogeta:word well i cannot find vcrun2005 [03:35] done and done [03:35] *open [03:35] wrektjet, Ubuntu for you and me, my fellow. [03:35] edbian: how long should it take before i see boot/install options if im trying to install from dvd-r? maybe im not waiting long enough? [03:35] and how can i open it? [03:36] woniu, with Brasero or k3b... [03:36] hxcjonnysniper: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks [03:36] DuckMaestro, When you put in the CD and boot it? There should never be more than 1 minutes of blank screen ness (that's generous). Depending on the speed the boot time from computer off to live CD running is 10 or 15 minutes [03:36] hxcjonnysniper: winetricks can dl and install said things its a script [03:37] I'm having an issue that's a pain: My trackpad won't come back online after suspend. I've tried loading and unloading psmouse, I've tried using tpconfig -x, tpconfig sees it as there, but no it's not listed in /proc/bus/input/devices. I do not have a physical switch to turn my trackpad on and off. Is there a program that can turn my touchpad back on? [03:37] hxcjonnysniper, then try using a gaming os like windows or try playonlinux or cedega [03:38] Dwade09: lol [03:38] Maahes, sudo rmmod synaptics, then sudo insmod synaptics? [03:38] I'm having trouble connecting to one Windows 7 machine's SMB shares. For some reason, ubuntu seems to think this machine is on a domain (instead of a workgroup) and prompts for a user/password/domain. Accessing other computers' shares works fine on my network (including another Windows 7 machine), and other machines can access this machine's shares no problem (but no other machines are Linux). What the hell is going on and [03:38] what should I do? [03:39] gogeta: i was trying playonlinux but i couldn't figure it out honestly. [03:39] well its true gogeta if he cant get it working in wine. [03:39] ok,i got it ,tkanks [03:39] how do I detect what touchpad I'm using is and its driver? [03:39] hello [03:40] timClicks, sudo lsmod [03:40] how can i insert a picture in latex [03:40] hxcjonnysniper: dl wintricks script install cabextract from apt-get then dl d3dx9 and the other file [03:40] timClicks, or just lsmod... w/o sudo.... [03:40] anybody knows [03:40] hxcjonnysniper: the game will work but lack sound [03:40] Some_Person, Read all about samba. I guarantee it works, you just have to configure it: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ [03:41] hxcjonnysniper: as the wiki says sudo sh winetrcks d3dx9 [03:41] Some_Person, https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html [03:41] hxcjonnysniper, if there is no sound install the sound drivers [03:41] hey, does anybody know where there may be a compiz support channel??? [03:41] edbian: I don't want to set up a server on ubuntu. I'm trying to access a server on a Windows 7 machine [03:41] Dwade09: its a wine issue with that game [03:41] Some_Person, oh sorry. Misread that. What is the issue? [03:41] gogeta, iw as being sarcastic [03:41] Some_Person, (I've never done it this way before) [03:42] edbian: It prompts for a user/password/domain despite the machine not being on a domain. I can't log in to it. Strangely, other machines (including one Windows 7) can be accessed fine [03:42] gogeta:You (root) don't own /home/hxcjonnysniper/.wine. Don't run winetricks as another user! [03:42] hxcjonnysniper: sorry no sudo [03:42] gogeta:it says i do not own it. [03:43] Some_Person, Perhaps you can set the share to not require those things? [03:43] hxcjonnysniper: just sh winetricks d3dx9 [03:43] edbian: It isn't supposed to require a damn domain [03:43] okay i did that. [03:43] hxcjonnysniper: and the vc file you nedded [03:44] hxcjonnysniper: as long as you installed cabextract it should install everything [03:44] Some_Person, Yeah I know. [03:44] Some_Person, Sorry I'm not sure. Make a forum post. [03:44] gogeta: i didnt do that i dont think O.o [03:44] hxcjonnysniper: sudo apt-get install cabextract [03:45] Some_Person: Have you tried "WindowsMachineName.local" as the domain? (substitute the windows name) [03:45] edbian: I can mount it manually with 'smbmount', just not in nautilus [03:45] Some_Person, have you tried to login with the domain being the workgroups? Like: in a Win7 the workgroup name is HELL, and you log in, put your user, pass, and domain = HELL... Try it already? [03:45] hxcjonnysniper: probly miselld that [03:45] missplled [03:45] tjackGNU: Tried already, fail [03:45] nope didnt [03:45] Some_Person, and you have a account on the Windows machines? [03:46] Some_Person, Really. Then just don't use nautilus! ha aha [03:46] tjackGNU: Duh. It's my laptop [03:46] greezmunkey: didn't work [03:46] gogeta:it says it is already the newest version [03:46] <[]pc> lu [03:46] hxcjonnysniper: k then just do sh winetrcks vcrun2005 [03:46] Some_Person, and you log with your user and password and workgroup and nothing? [03:47] hxcjonnysniper: if you are finished with the d3dx9 [03:47] gogeta:already did that too. [03:47] tjackGNU: In nautilus, it just prompts for it again. Like I said, I can mount it manually with smbmount without problems (smbmount //server/share /path/to/mountpoint -o user=username pass=password) [03:47] hxcjonnysniper: well see if said game runs [03:48] gogeta:nope. same error. [03:48] Some_Person, sudo apt-get install libpam-smbpass [03:48] hi to every one [03:48] hi all [03:48] anyone available to help a newbie with ubuntu netbook [03:48] hxcjonnysniper: you using wine 1.3.6 [03:48] Some_Person, sudo apt-get install nautilus-(anything with samba) [03:48] hxcjonnysniper: or the older wine [03:48] tjackGNU: The odd thing is that this is working fine with my other Windows 7 machine. [03:49] IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII JUST WANNA TAKE YOU DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN [03:49] wrongg channel [03:49] gogeta: it says 1.2.1 [03:49] New_guy, ask [03:49] hxcjonnysniper: yep to old [03:50] hxcjonnysniper: hears how to update the repo to the 1.3.6 [03:50] hxcjonnysniper: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [03:50] just put netbook on a compaq laptop that was running kubuntu just fiine....but am having problems with the display with netbook [03:50] Some_Person: What version of win7 are you trying to connect to (that does not work) ?? [03:50] greezmunkey: Both are Ultimate [03:50] gogeta:i already did this too. like two hours ago. [03:50] Some_Person, I know how it is. I NEVER have a Win-Linux SMB shares without headaches... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... I have the same problem some times. Right now, for example... (I can't even see my brother's Win7 shares) [03:50] New_guy, What are the problems [03:51] the app bar (left side) doesn't appear until you mouse over it....and even then the display is not readable [03:51] hxcjonnysniper: if your still using 1.2.1 you havent dont a upgrade then [03:51] done [03:51] Some_Person: Haave you tried turning off windows firewall as a test? [03:51] ok i downloaded a program and want to run it but when i click the setup.exe it says error [03:51] hey, anybody here know a lot about compiz??? [03:52] If I click around in the top left corner, I can get the main window with web, music, photos, games, etc to display ok [03:52] hi, i'm about to reszie my ubuntu partition on my dual boot machine by booting into gparted. i know i need to back up windows because i'm expanding ubuntu and shrinking windows, but is there also a chance that ubuntu gets corrupted even though i'm expanding it? [03:52] !wine | AR_ [03:52] AR_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:52] AR_, you cant run .exe file directly. you need wine for that [03:52] hxcjonnysniper: just do apt-get update [03:52] hxcjonnysniper: then apt-get upgrade [03:52] greezmunkey: Not sure how that would help. SMB is working; nautilus just thinks the machine is on a domain instead of a workgroup. But I'll try it [03:52] how are you ? [03:52] hxcjonnysniper: it should grab the newer version of wine [03:52] hxcjonnysniper: as well as any other updates [03:53] My Riptide sound/analog game/modem card isn't being detected by Ubuntu 10.10, even with the libsdl-debian-all package. [03:53] hxcjonnysniper: sudo apt-get upgrade [03:53] greezmunkey: Nope, didn't help [03:53] hxcjonnysniper: blarg both commands are sudo [03:53] It WAS working until earlier today. [03:53] Some_Person: There are a littany of bug reports regarding Nautilus, and win7 shares, unfortunately. But you did say you can connect to one win7 box but not another, right? [03:54] greezmunkey: correct, and both are using the same configuration as far as I can tell [03:54] Hey guys, I have a question. I am wanting to make a custom version of Crunchbang with so mods and release it as my own distrobution. Do I need to notify the creators of Crunchbang that I am doing so? [03:54] still says 1.2.1 [03:55] gogeta:this is ridiculous. [03:55] hxcjonnysniper: should like you didnt add the wine repo [03:55] greezmunkey: This may have started when I tried to access some SMB shares at school (where domains are used). I haven't accessed my laptop before, and perhaps nautilus is now assuming all machines are on domains [03:55] Anyone know what to do? [03:55] Some_Person, I think it's that stupid Homegroups feature.... But... I really do not know. [03:55] hxcjonnysniper: do sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [03:55] hxcjonnysniper: then sudo apt-get update === fxhp is now known as foxhop [03:56] hmm, separate issue. was installing netbook release on my netbook. seemed to be going fine. got far along, then started downloading updates (still within the installer). then around about halfway through the updates my screen goes black. i dont see any disk activity. [03:56] helo all [03:56] should i hard reboot? [03:56] hxcjonnysniper: lastly sudo apt-get install wine1.3 [03:56] new ubuntu server user here [03:56] hxcjonnysniper: you have to sudo apt-get update before you sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade otherwise your system won't have cached the new repo [03:57] izinucs: llooks like they sepreted the stable and beta instalers === abd3lnuban is now known as aBD3LnUbaN [03:57] izinucs: you have to use wine 1.3 now [03:57] wine1.3 [03:58] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [03:58] gogeta: wouldn't know .. I have an aversion to wine.. except when it's a good red :) [03:58] hxcjonnysniper: udo apt-get install wine1.3 didnt install wine?

[04:00] Yes, and I still haven't managed to figure out how to fix my problem. [04:00] hi, i'm about to reszie my ubuntu partition on my dual boot machine by booting into gparted. i know i need to back up windows because i'm expanding ubuntu and shrinking windows, but is there also a chance that ubuntu gets corrupted even though i'm expanding it? [04:00] hxcjonnysniper: see if said game works [04:00] any thoughts on a black screen 3/4's the way through a netbook install? [04:00] How can I clear paste/clipboard in terminal? [04:00] uLinux: shift+insert is the best way, i find [04:00] i have a question:I'm using a lenovo g560 with an Intel HDA sound card, my laptop's speakers make the sound and so do my headphones, anyway i could just let the headphones make the sound? [04:00] Some_Person: I can use Naut to connect to shares on my win7 ultimate pc. It asks for a domain, I typed in my work nework name (on the win7 box), password, and checked the box to remember the pword until I log out. Works... Check your win7 machine, advanced sharing settings, make sure that discovery, sharing, access for anyone - are all on. [04:00] is it possible to drag a program from one screen to another? [04:00] echo310infantry: yep [04:01] boxbeatsy: Anytime you start screwing arround with partitions you could hose the drive. [04:01] tensorpudding: that pastes [04:01] lol [04:01] hxcjonnysniper: being it upgraded wine it should have kept your settings [04:01] oh, you want to _clear_ paste? what does that mean? [04:01] izin.. how it just rotates my cube [04:01] empty the clipboard? [04:01] VinceN: mmk. is there anything in particular i should take not of avoiding? [04:01] gogeta: word. i think its done. [04:01] tensorpudding: yes empty [04:01] or clear :P [04:01] VinceN: after booting up, i'm just going to boot to gparted and im hoping there are clear instructions there on resizing [04:01] hxcjonnysniper: might have to winetrick those 2 file again but maybe not [04:01] izinucs.. how it just rotates my cube [04:02] *after backin gup [04:02] greezmunkey: And you're not using a domain at work there? [04:02] Some_Person: correct, and Nautilus 2.30.1 [04:02] boxbeaty: If you have a spare drive I would mirror the drive first. Baring that. Back up anything you can't afford to loose [04:02] Generally speaking resizing is easy but you always always always want to have a backup [04:03] echo310infantry: click and hold the window, drag .. cube rotates to another side with the program following.. typically [04:03] how do I get to irc.gimp.org? [04:03] Some_Person: I configured win7 to have a work network, because I connect to lots of differant subnets. [04:03] VinceN: got it. thanks! [04:03] lol i meant using two monitores [04:03] @echo310infantry: Same thing. [04:04] gogeta: i opened cod. it no longer has an error. but its loading something. black screen so far. FINGERS CROSSED.

[04:05] gogeta: it doesnt need a cd crack?! [04:05] hxcjonnysniper: it does [04:05] hxcjonnysniper: unless its working for you [04:05] can anyone help me get to irc.gimp.org? [04:05] gogeta: oh well its already cracked. [04:06] hxcjonnysniper: heh [04:06] tim: /server irc.gimp.org [04:06] hi, I have a laptop with a microphone in port. It's working for Skype for example, but I would like to hear the sound from my microphone from my laptop speakers. How can I do that?

[04:08] gogeta: i appreciate though. imma try to fix this now. [04:08] hxcjonnysniper: but as i said thes game listed as working barly [04:08] When I add a PPA 'Software Sources' adds 2 lines: Main and Main (Source Code). Do I need source code thing? [04:08] in Lucid was different. why? [04:09] uLinux, totally up to you [04:09] if you ever want to build pacakges from src ... you need the deb-src line to fetch package sources [04:09] echo310infantry, of course you can [04:10] leprechau: hm ok i dont to that [04:10] it just rotates the cube [04:10] leprechau: so I unmark Source code in Ubuntu software [04:10] echo310infantry, only if you are holding ctrl+alt when you click an drag [04:11] thats incorrect [04:11] uLinux: if you whant but it only grabs them if you tell it [04:11] echo310infantry, then you have changed your hotkey settings for cube rotate [04:11] hi all :D [04:11] no i havent [04:11] dude...yes you have [04:12] gogeta: i disabled it now i need to delete every source code entry [04:12] it's not just magically doing something ... computers only do what they are told [04:12] if u drag a program it just rotates the cube as u drag [04:12] xD [04:12] hi .... my eeepc gets more hot with linux or maybe just with ubuntu than usual... i've been trying to find some solution can you guys have any suggestions? [04:12] uLinux: if you compiled from source there in the folder you compiled in [04:13] http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu source code [04:13] How can I have the apache user (www-data) SSH to another machine and be authenticated by a public key? [04:13] anyone know's how to do a virtualhost with tomcat? [04:13] :S [04:13] gogeta: i just apt-get or install from synaptic [04:13] echo310infantry, does your desktop actually span both monitors or do you have the same image mirrored on both? [04:13] uLinux: then your fine [04:13] anyone here used gcalcli for google calendar? [04:14] echo310infantry, and does it just rotate the cube when you come to the edge ... or always? [04:14] salam [04:14] hi [04:14] uLinux: you should be able to clean up just by unistalling said source deb [04:14] only when dragging a program [04:14] I'm having an issue that's a pain: My touchpad won't come back online after suspend. I've tried loading and unloading psmouse, I've tried using tpconfig -x, tpconfig sees it as there, but no it's not listed in /proc/bus/input/devices. I do not have a physical switch to turn my touchpad on and off. Is there a program that can turn my touchpad back on? Also: trying insmod synaptics or synaptics_i2c says [04:14] there is no module, but zsh autocomplete is giving me synaptics(_i2c) as options. [04:14] uLinux: but if you never installed any then you have none [04:14] and two seperate desktops [04:15] echo310infantry, that's not what I asked .... when you drag the window does the cube start rotating right away or only when your pointer gets to the edge of the screen? [04:15] gogeta: source deb? [04:15] uLinux: then ill assume you have none [04:15] edge [04:16] echo310infantry, you don't have your screens setup right .... what gfx card do you have? [04:16] uLinux: ubuntu instal installs source if it has to do it for a task like a deb that compiles [04:16] 2x gtx470 [04:16] gogeta: sometimes i use .deb files [04:16] oops ubuntu uses them too:p [04:16] echo310infantry, are you using the default drivers or nvidia proprietary? [04:16] uLinux: /debs are bianry 90% of the time [04:16] nvidia [04:16] gogeta: it's just source entries dont go away [04:17] using x server [04:17] after disabling source code [04:17] echo310infantry, open your nvidia-settings [04:17] uLinux: so why would it [04:17] done [04:17] does freenode have a mysql channel? [04:17] need to remove manually [04:17] click on X Server Display Configuration [04:17] uLinux: why utterly pointless to do so [04:17] hi .... my eeepc gets more hot with linux or maybe just with ubuntu than usual... i've been trying to find some solution can you guys have any suggestions? [04:17] done im on seperate x [04:18] uLinux: unchecking it disables scanning [04:18] goto configure and click TwinView [04:18] yes [04:18] uLinux: at some point you may need it like for a driver === squishynothere is now known as squishy [04:19] its greyd out [04:19] uLinux: many drivers will use the header source to compile into the kernel [04:19] but i dont want twin anyways [04:19] Is there a good way to log myself out of gnome over SSH? I have sudo privs on the machine. I just forgot to lock the screen or logout. I'd prefer to do it without rebooting, since I have some long-term stuff running in screen/my SSH connection. [04:20] gogeta: ok ill just left source for default lines [04:20] i find a zombie program in my ubuntu, what should i do next [04:20] and enable source again [04:20] uLinux: its not gonna take or save space disabled [04:20] uLinux: or enabled [04:20] uLinux: its just the repo list [04:21] Sofia: you could restart gdm which will log you out but not have any effect on screened things.. sudo service gdm restart [04:21] hi all, i'm having some trouble with grub and mbr [04:21] uLinux: when you install a app etc it grabs the binanry deb [04:21] still need help fixing my Ubuntu 10.04 explanation here> http://pastebin.com/CBA8p17k [04:21] trying to install ubuntu 10.10, but can't add the entry to windows bootload [04:21] uLinux: few excep[ptions like drivers [04:21] yeah [04:21] bastidrazor: Good enough.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:27] !caps [04:27] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

You still have yet to even ask one answerable question [04:29] :S I started with ubuntu couple days ago, instead of windows.. and im not good at it yet [04:29] person, you seem to have difficulty reading english, did you not see where the bot said to ask a question on one line? You still have yet to even ask one answerable question [04:30] Blue1: here i'll take this to a private window and post all the information i posted previously to the other guy i'll get you up to speed on whats going on. [04:30] Wine is not showing progress, its stuck on "applying changes" in software centre. Please help [04:30] k [04:30] Yeah, I'm trying to set up an openVPN server at home on my Ubuntu box, so I can have a secure wireless connection at hotspots.

[04:30] hello [04:30] so [04:30] have one [04:30] he did not ask gogeta [04:30] However, I got stuck on the server configuration file.

[04:31] person, Read documentation on it [04:31] I just did it [04:31] where am i [04:31] may I PM u poutine? [04:32] no person, you really fail at how these channels work. You don't join a channel with 1426 other people in it just to private message one person [04:32] poutine: ssay that to my 5 im windows [04:33] u mad [04:33] some people fail at common civility [04:33] poutine... [04:33] poutine: genrely if someone has the answer we do switch to im to ge tout of the clutter [04:33] still need help fixing my Ubuntu 10.04 explanation here> http://pastebin.com/CBA8p17k [04:33] out [04:33] oh so you private message me anyways.... I suppose I should have seen that coming... [04:33] but only if someone as taken on your issue [04:34] !pm [04:34] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:34] So anyway speaking of VPN's. Does anyone have any clue on how to troubleshoot a "Failed to connect to VPN" error. Im not sure if this is a settings issue or not. I can connect to the server when the server is being run out of windows XP but i'm having trouble setting up the PPTPd on the Ubuntu side [04:34] no, nevermind poutine, im supossed @I fail@ [04:34] AbhiJit: thank you... [04:34] I have no interest in helping you whatsoever person, perhaps your problem is that you lack the ability to read in the first place. Perhaps you should hire someone competent, as "basic reading ability" does not appear to be part of your skill set [04:34] :) [04:34] VinceN: you set ufw for vpn? [04:35] yes babe, if u say so [04:35] VinceN: not forggeting ubuntu and xp both have firewalls heh [04:35] gogeta: No idea what ufw is so.............. No LOL [04:35] !ufw [04:35] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [04:35] like Vincen said, i have the same problem on my ubuntu [04:35] i need help with a terminal command [04:35] person: well same link for you then [04:35] Evil_Eric: which? [04:35] gogeta: I didn't think the firewas was enabled unless I went into firestarter and set one up [04:36] Is there some way I can disable it for testing? [04:36] VinceN: been on by defult senc 9x ubuntu [04:36] VinceN: sudo ufw disable [04:36] Evil_Eric: there are literally thousands of them, pick one! ;) [04:36] ...? [04:36] gogeta Blue1 Thanks i'll give that a shot and report back [04:36] im trying to figure out if this is the proper way for this command to look skill -c transmission [04:36] Blue1: well wouldent go disabling it easy enough to open the vpn ports [04:37] VinceN: you can always try man [04:37] i have ubuntu installed on device sdc4, I upgrade to 10.10 and grub fails to load. [04:37] what can I do? [04:37] gogeta: yeah but that can at least tell you if it's a firewall issue. [04:37] just for clarification my problem is pretty complicated so pm windows are going to have to be a possibility unless everyone in here doesn't care to have paragraphs of text and pasties being broadcasted all over the main page. It is out of respect to the other people with problems. [04:37] VinceN, I would give OpenVPN a bash, it works very well on Ubuntu and has lots of info and support. [04:37] VinceN: both xp and ubuntu will need the firewalls open enough for vpn [04:38] VinceN: or disabled [04:38] ggg22: no one is going to paw through that much data, esp. if you can't identify the file structure [04:38] VinceN: disable is a bad idea thow [04:38] gogeta: well like I said i'm not having issues with the XP server [04:38] can someone help me with this grub problem? [04:38] But then the wizard may have set it up automatically [04:38] #terminal [04:38] Blue1: its called read the pastie it is only six lines long and shows my whole partition table list. [04:38] VinceN: then ubuntu ufw probly just needs the vppm port opened but disable will be a quick check [04:39] gogeta: I know disabling is a bad idea but i'm behind a hardware wall. If it works with the firewall off then I know for sure thats what it is, I can turn it back on and tweak it [04:39] q.e.d. [04:39] is there a chan where one can get help with reminal commands [04:40] VinceN: I am pretty weak with iptables - it's why I cheat and use webmin [04:40] terminal [04:40] Blue1 Gogeta : Firewall disabled, Still getting that error [04:40] Blue1: ufw is a iptables cheat [04:40] VinceN: then it's not a firewall issue [04:40] gogeta: indeed [04:41] Blue1 : Agreed, Anything else I can check? Is there anyway I can get a more specific error message? [04:41] VinceN: yo trying to connect to xp [04:41] VinceN: you've done lowlevel stuph like make sure that each computer can ping each other? [04:41] hello everyone, i need some help please. when i try to visit some sites my screen goes black or completely crazy and when watching tv online this can happen too. anyone have an idea? [04:42] Blue1 Yes. Both computers can see each other fine [04:42] VinceN: xp firewall will block ubuntu being the subnet is diffrent [04:42] gogeta : Works fine in XP sir [04:42] VinceN: as in can connect to xp [04:42] laters all [04:42] VinceN: that's always a good place to start -- are you using samba? [04:42] Gogeta : Correct, The machine is dual boot. I need to be able to connect no matter which OS is booted up at the time. I can connect to XP no problems [04:43] VinceN: k [04:43] VinceN: no not a networking config issue unless the vpn uses its own networking configs be the next place to look [04:44] still need help fixing my Ubuntu 10.04 explanation here> http://pastebin.com/CBA8p17k [04:45] anyone ever get a ps3 controller working in ubuntu? [04:45] i cant seem to get it to patch bluez-util [04:45] VinceN: so where is your vpn server located [04:46] Gogeta, Its on my main PC at home. Which dualboots windows XP and 10.04 [04:46] I have a D-Link DWL-132 USB wireless adapter. It works fine in windows, but I would like to install it through Unbuntu. Does anyone know how? [04:46] I am setting up 2 servers, one in Win XP and one in 10.04 which are on the same box [04:46] VinceN: well if you have vpm filtering it may be filtering ubuntu [04:46] VinceN: the mac adress changes [04:46] Gogeta, No the hardware is the same the MAC should not be changing [04:47] hello everyone, i need some help please. when i try to visit some sites my screen goes black or completely crazy and when watching tv online this can happen too. anyone have an idea? i ll try with chromium know to see what happen [04:47] VinceN: it changes trust me [04:47] so this is the ubuntu's freenode global wide reaction to the suicide bot stumbleupons assault on me on one of their many blackboxes. i can't joined a single #ubuntu channel without being banned. and #ubuntu-ops wont respond to me, but will tell me to get out. what happened to me could have not only killed me, it nearly killed my mom, and there was nothing offensive i had done to deserve it. truth be told, i'm one of the nicest guys in the [04:47] world, and in every single ubuntu channel, i've been kicked out and banned. enjoy your self righteous dictatorship [04:47] Gogeta, I don't see how since i'm not spoofing but ok [04:47] still need help fixing my Ubuntu 10.04 explanation here> http://pastebin.com/CBA8p17k === Termana_ is now known as Termana [04:47] VinceN: we get at least 100 people a day cant connect to there isp due to that [04:48] Gogeta : don't see how that would affect the VPN though. Its all done through an IP tunnel I don't think the transport layer is involved at that point at least not at that level. [04:48] VinceN: well if you dont have a mac filter then no it shoudlent efect it [04:48] Gogeta : I do not have a mac filter I am aware of [04:48] say whut? [04:48] I did not specifically set one yp [04:49] ok guys im trying to update my alsa drivers but when I get to the "sudo cp ~/alsa*" I get this error cp: target `/home/cheyne/alsa-utils-1.0.23.tar.bz2' is not a directory any help would be greatly appreciated [04:49] And pardon me, This is transport layer stuff but mac addressing is done at the data link layer I belive so I still don't think that should effect it. [04:49] VinceN: just trying to elmnate the server rejectinng it due to some rule [04:50] Gogeta : Is there any way I can see if the server is even receiving the request? [04:50] hi, my nfs resources will not mount on startup, only then mount -a, i must do more on Ubuntu than putting it in the fstab file? [04:50] VinceN: ping it maybe [04:50] VinceN: kinda hard if your not at the server [04:50] gogeta, I am at the server [04:50] VinceN: being it probly would be in the logs [04:51] Really need help fixing ubuntu 10.04 been a 10+ hour problem that continues to deny me normal access to my linux OS. explanation here> http://pastebin.com/CBA8p17k [04:51] .? [04:51] Gogeta: and I can ping the server both on the LAN when connected locally and through the WAN [04:51] hashashin: I'd recommend using autofs for network resources. Just my 20cents [04:52] VinceN: humm [04:52] VinceN: at least we knoe its at least sending something [04:52] VinceN: so a client or server rejcting [04:53] hashashin: the network service must be up by the time the mount happens... that could be the problem you are having.. just a guess. But with autofs, the NFS or whatever other resource would automatically be mounted when you try to access it. And what's even better, it'd unmount if it is not being used and that'd prevent your system from hanging if you have some network hicup locking the mount [04:53] Hi i'm natively from windows so i'm used to mIRC, but is there a way to see what channels people are idling? Normally this is displayed in the whois on mIRC [04:54] VinceN: if your connecting to lan the ip for ubuntu will also be diffrent if your using ip filter [04:54] gogeta: Seems so, Doubt its the client cause it will connect when trying to connect to the XP Server [04:54] dapz: on freenode, whois only shows you channels you share with the user. [04:55] Ah [04:55] VinceN: also check your roughter both machines ip will need a rought to the vpn [04:55] Well I'm looking for any similar channels i guess, namely technical channels for programming/developers [04:55] ggg22: in that picture, is that /home that has the 200gb free space, or /? I'm wondering if /home is on a separate partition to /, and only /home is full [04:55] do you know of any IdleOne ? [04:55] tecnico, thanks I'll look at autofs [04:55] VinceN: assuming you did this fr cp aruldy [04:55] xp [04:55] ggg22: (and weird!) [04:56] ggg22: have you tried booting into a live cd to investigate your drives further? [04:56] dapz, ##programming [04:56] Hobbsee: yeah i know this is bad because i don't even know how to start in fixing thsi problem. [04:56] dapz: #programming, ##c++ and so on, basically pick a language and try joining the channel. [04:56] VinceN: most uppnp rughters do this for you but who knoes [04:56] Gogeta: already covered that base, both OS's are set to obtain the same IP when booted. [04:56] and the router is forwarding the traffic to the static IP as assigned to the machine [04:57] VinceN: umm i dont think they will new mac = new ip [04:57] gogeta: Except i'm not using DHCP [04:57] VinceN: you can check with ifconfig however [04:57] Both IS's are static assigned [04:57] VinceN: ah [04:57] O [04:57] OS's even [04:57] ggg22: yeah, i'm trying to figure that out. answer my question? :) [04:57] VinceN: so not a roughting issue [04:58] Hobbsee: blackshirt the previous guy suggested i tried making a new user account and logging into it using alt+ fn but i get lots of weird messages. he had to go so can i just give you what i am getting when i try to bring up log in windows? yeah did gparted already and it didn't fidn anything. [04:58] VinceN: so we are down to client being incomptable somehow [04:58] gogeta : Doubt it, I really think this is a config issue with the pptpd on Ubuntu but I have no way of finding out what it is with this no specific error code [04:58] VinceN: yea seems to have coverd the rest [04:59] ggg22: if you could run df -h -T and pastebin it from the bad machine, that'd be great. also, a pastebin of those errors would be great if you can (or roughly what they say) [04:59] VinceN: what are you vpn'ing to? [04:59] VinceN: shoudk be a log file for ppptd === evi379 is now known as unknown379 [04:59] Hobbsee: i didnt know about -T! you get a gold star! [04:59] anyone know much about grub and mbr? [04:59] maco: it's useful :) [05:00] on Ubuntu [Maverick and older too] what do you do when your wireless internet stops and iwlagn says "MAC is in deep sleep" over and over in the dmesg output ?

If the log messages don't help, you can also turn on extra debugging output using the debug option. This output makes pppd log the contents of all control packets sent or received to syslog. All messages then go to the daemon facility [05:01] Can anyone please tell me why I have a clicking sound in Ubuntu Meerkat?

[05:06] gogeta: brand new to linux [05:06] ggg22: it's got to be there somewhere, try mounting it manually with the 'sudo mount /home' and see what it says? [05:07] chasejacks: its not a .sh? [05:07] i dont know what you're reffering to [05:07] i open WinFF via the applications menu [05:07] chasejacks: oh [05:08] chasejacks: well i would use something else its premessions are all wrong [05:08] gogeta: when i hit "convert" that terminal opens automatically [05:08] has anyone had a problem with thr rtl8187b wifi card [05:08] okay it says it cannot find /home in /etcfstab or etc/mtab [05:08] chasejacks: it doesent ask you to go su [05:08] chasejacks: well thers better programs then winff [05:09] chasejacks: avidmux handbrake etc [05:09] gogeta: whats my alternative?

After that, i get grub problem stating that it couldn't go into the system [05:11] chasejacks: exactly, that's why you run "man ffmpeg" [05:11] ggg22: ie, on the second hard drive [05:11] chasejacks: type in your terminal " ls -al /usr/bin/ffmpeg" [05:11] chasejacks: well if your ripping off youtube thers a web way [05:11] Hobbsee: told you it is complex problem ^_^ i went to boot linux as usual and it said somethign about sdb1 not being able ot mount so i eventually picked option m or manual modify to fix it from there i removed the restored files and then tried startx to see if it worked. It did i am in the root account for linux right now and everythign works except software center [05:11] gogeta: that's exactly what i'm trying to od [05:11] chasejacks: pop in url it gives you a mp3 [05:11] tecnico, autofs seems work like a charm, thanks again.

[05:13] Ubuntu help SUCKS [05:13] Novice: cya [05:13] hashashin: great. And take a look at the difference between soft and hard mounts when it comes to NFS.. it makes a difference when the network connection goes down.. your process table ends up locking and you have to do lazy unmounts .. it's a nightmare [05:13] blakkheim: ell hes ripping youtube made it easy for him [05:13] gogeta: doesn't matter, the audio quality is still horrible [05:13] chasejacks: I was trying to see the output of that command to look at the permissions of ffmpeg [05:13] blakkheim: well no matter if he does a web rip or dl and convert it will be the same heh [05:13] Hobbsee: only this root account works somethign about useraccounts are not working though i can access all the user account files there not corrupt or anythign i just log in to user accounts on standard boot or try alt+fn of anything kind.

[05:16] chasejacks: oh.. gotta prefix that with 'sudo' so, sudo [05:16] ggg22: yeah, it would be [05:16] nice [05:17] tecnico: still permission denied, im baffled [05:17] ggg22: what does sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1 output? [05:17] ggg22, linux is not the problem, user is(ALWAYS) [05:17] Exploiter: if only that were the truth. linux has bugs [05:18] chasejacks: of course they are right no matter how you do it youtube audio sucks [05:18] Hobbsee yeah?? liike there are millions of bugg which bothers you.. windows have 1000 times more bugs.. to be specific [05:18] chasejacks: the output of your ls command seems to indicate that /usr/bin/ffmpeg is a directory and not a binary file [05:18] Hobbsee: I tried ti and it said ti was unable to open /dev/sdb1 [05:18] ggg22: rats [05:19] chasejacks: type sudo file /usr/bin/ffmpeg . Does it say directory? [05:19] tecnico: only 1 way that happond and im just gonna stay quite [05:19] that bad? [05:19] tecnico: good call ,yes it does...what does that mean? [05:19] ggg22: oh, plug the external drive back in, then run it [05:19] tecnico: means he didnt use apt-get and probly a source [05:20] tecnico: does that mean it's not installed properly? I did a recompile and followed the steps thoughorly [05:20] tecnico: ding ding ding [05:20] Give that man a het! [05:20] hat [05:21] gogeta: how do i get ffmpeg installed properly, the latest one with all the features? [05:21] gogeta: i followed all the steps [05:21] this is satin's external hardrive i pray this thing doesn't destroy want little linux os i got left T_T [05:21] chasejacks: well first you have to remove that botched install [05:21] chasejacks: well, I'd recommend moving that away (sudo mv /usr/bin/ffmpeg /tmp/ffmpeg_screwed) and installing ffmpeg with apt-get install ffmpeg [05:21] ggg22: it shouldn't [05:22] chasejacks: and for refrence later ubuntu is not ment for source compiles avoide when possable [05:22] hello all [05:23] Hobbsee: it still says unable to open even with external attached. [05:23] I don't come to irc very often, but I needed some quick help [05:23] gogeta: does the apt-install have all the features? [05:24] chasejacks: well latest for ubuntu and any ubunu apps will use [05:24] chasejacks: flc support has been around for ages so [05:24] I need the command to install GNOME in Fedora...I know, NOT an Ubuntu specific question [05:24] flv\ [05:24] zer010: yum install grub [05:24] zer010, #fedora [05:24] zer010: yum install gnome sorry [05:25] Hobbsee: though i checked the computer tab and the external drive doesn't appear to be listed. Thats another thing is all things usb are not functioning in this low shell setting i guess or there are errors one? [05:25] I figure it's as easy as su yum install gnome2 [05:25] Thanks [05:25] ggg22: yeah, it probably doesn't function [05:25] gogeta: http://pastebin.com/eWu1QdAZ [05:25] abhijit [05:25] tecnico: http://pastebin.com/eWu1QdAZ [05:25] zer010, yes? [05:25] chasejacks: Apt-get installed packages are your safe bet since. With more experience and time you could install ffpeg from source if you want. Basically you untarred the ffmpeg source directory directly in /usr/bin. Next time untar it somewher else, like ~/source (mkdir ~/sources). Then follow the instructions. [05:25] you guys are unbelievably helpful, thank you so much [05:25] chasejacks: thats fine they are not nedded anymore [05:25] yes [05:26] You suggested #fedora [05:26] zer010, yah ask in #fedora channel [05:26] but how do i get rid of them now? [05:26] zer010: yep they have a chat to [05:26] thanks [05:26] zer010, welcome [05:26] chasejacks: as it said to do === HeimDaLL is now known as HeimDaLL|OFF [05:27] chasejacks: sudo apt-get autoremove [05:27] Hobbsee: is there away to possibly just reinstall all the files that the boots want or would that require a complete reinstallation? [05:27] hoping to get some help with my wifi [05:27] gogeta: oops didn't see that, this ubuntu thing is cool [05:27] gogeta: this is my first day on it :) [05:27] chasejacks: it tend to notec junk and wanna remove it [05:28] gogeta: how will i know where ffmpeg is installed? [05:28] !manual | chasejacks [05:28] chasejacks: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [05:28] chasejacks: computer janator is a gui for that as well [05:28] chasejacks: its installed [05:28] chasejacks: being thers no ui you can tyor ffmpeg [05:28] type [05:28] chasejacks: but your facret app should work [05:28] how do i know where its located [05:28] i have a problem where all the sudden it will disable the wifi card [05:28] facret [05:29] connects just fine on boot [05:29] chasejacks, whereis ffmpeg [05:29] AbhiJit: no idea... [05:29] :) :) [05:29] ahh [05:29] :) [05:29] chasejacks, no [05:29] thats a command? [05:29] lol [05:29] chasejacks, thats the command you have to type in termianl to know where is ffmpeg [05:30] chasejacks: yes or you can do updatedb then locate ffmpeg [05:30] :) [05:30] ffmpeg: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg /usr/share/ffmpeg [05:30] chasejacks, first one [05:30] chasejacks: thats where it is [05:30] thanks guys for being so patient [05:30] and helpful [05:30] chasejacks, the one with '/bin' is executable. generaly [05:31] ggg22: hmm. what did you run for the "With failure I then tried a manual solution where it takes ubuntu into a lower shell state or whatever and the first thing i did was from command prompt i removed every item backed up from the external harddrive through use of terminal". Something strange is going on [05:31] hmmm [05:31] i'm pointing the firefox extension Download helper to that directory and its not working [05:31] im reading a guide on installing ubuntu on latest mac mini. it recommends installing rEFIT before the ubuntu installation, to manage booting. does that all sound legit/reasonable to you guys? [05:31] chasejacks: if you did the same misinstall to winff its also in apt-get [05:32] chasejacks: notee you dont need to use the console to install packages there is 2 gui sysanptic and ubuntu store [05:32] DuckMaestro: why dual boot? I'd install ubuntu on a virtual machine and have both worlds.. no need to mess up with your mac [05:33] Hobbsee: okay what i did was go to the directories that i had restored from the external in case they were corrupt and did rm since rmdir wasn't working for me. after i rm all the files i nthe directory i then deleted the diretory itself and i ls it to see the directory is gone. it was in my home folder. [05:33] ggg22: aiee [05:33] chasejacks: i just use it being its quick if you knoe excaly what you whant [05:33] tecnico: i have a specific test case i need to do for work and i need to run native without VM. thanks for the suggestion though. [05:33] Does anyone know the 10GBE support in ubuntu server 10.04? [05:33] gogeta: do you know anything about the extension for firefox download helper? [05:34] chasejacks: i use downthemall [05:34] chasejacks: its the orignal and fast [05:34] gogeta: how do i get winff to work now [05:34] chasejacks: launch it? [05:34] Hobbsee: one thing that might be related to this is those files was the only way i could open them was to use root i guess ti was soemthing with photorec? the directory had the pad locked symbol for root priviledges [05:35] ggg22: wouldn't surprise me [05:35] all i need [05:35] is the path to FFplay.exe [05:35] ggg22: sudo mkdir /home && sudo mkdir /home/username && sudo chown username:username /home/username [05:35] chasejacks: from your whereis command [05:35] ggg22: your trying to remove folder? [05:35] chasejacks: ffplay.exe hua [05:36] allu2: correction already removed via terminal running low shell. [05:36] ffplay: /usr/local/bin/ffplay [05:36] hua: [05:36] ggg22: ah ok [05:36] chasejacks: you said .exe [05:36] ggg22: if the above works without errors, you should be able to reboot back into a user account [05:37] yes, winff is asking for the path to FFPlay.exe [05:37] chasejacks: but you got it [05:37] Can anyone help with 10GBE support in 10.04? [05:37] chasejacks: umm linux does not do .exe [05:37] chasejacks: are you using a windows app [05:37] not at all, just using winff [05:37] via wine [05:37] on ubuntu [05:37] no [05:38] S0LIDUS, what is 10GBE?

[05:39] ggg22: the latter :) [05:40] where sorry [05:40] Hobbsee, Thanks ! ; ) [05:40] S0LIDUS: wouldn't that simply be a matter of supporting the hardware? [05:40] /usr/local/bin/ffplay [05:40] Hobbsee: okay so for tiem being i make an account called guest which is done then i would do guest:guest /home/username? [05:40] chasejacks: thats the path [05:41] gogeta: lol i was in the windows tab [05:41] chasejacks: think you had a extra space [05:41] ggg22: oh, i was thinking the username you used before. or does /home/usernamefrombefore still exist? [05:41] chasejacks: lol [05:41] yup [05:41] greezmunkey, Yep, but I can't remember the hardware support page for ubuntu 10.04.

[05:42] rinku_kokiri: in the root of the folder you ran svn co in. [05:42] ok [05:42] ty [05:42] ggg22: oh, well, if that still exists, try 'sudo chown -R sarge1221:sarge1221 /home/sarge1221' and you should be good. hopefully [05:42] * Hobbsee thought that was gone [05:43] chasejacks: darn thing [05:43] tes [05:43] Hobbsee: one second should i backup my files before doing this i have alot of stuff still in that acount espicially the home folder itself. [05:43] ggg22: i'tll be fine, it's only changing permissions [05:44] ggg22: would not try rm or something, though ;) [05:44] chasejacks: i probly would go with avidemux [05:44] Hobbsee: you wouldn't happen to know anything about making a live usb require a user with a password would you? I tried making a user earlier, with a password, but gdm kicked me out for not being in the "nopassword" group. Longshot, but I remember you being knowledgeable :) [05:44] chasejacks: if thats being stubbern [05:44] how do i change loginscreen resolution? [05:45] Maahes: unless you set it somewhere in usb creator, i've got no idea [05:45] My wireless doesn't seem to be working on my newly install Ubuntu - can anyone help me with this? [05:46] Maahes: course, you could always sudo adduser nopassword, but i'm not sure if that would be permanent [05:46] chasejacks: aviedemux i in apt-get as well [05:46] avidemux [05:47] Hobbsee: okay i think it did it. anyway to test it or will i have to just reboot as normal? [05:47] anyone know about deving for android? [05:47] realeyes, yeah shoot [05:47] ggg22: just reboot as normal [05:47] what does modified BSD license mean? [05:47] how do i start? I've got ubuntu 10.10 and a droid incredible [05:47] Hobbsee okay i will do that right now then. [05:48] ggg22: excellent :) [05:48] tempas, ask in #bsd or #freebsd [05:48] tempas: uh, it means they modified it. Read the text. [05:48] realeyes, http://developer.android.com/index.html [05:48] Maahes: where can i read it? [05:48] an easy way would be to do: diff currentbsdversion.txt thatliscense.txt [05:48] i know nothing about licensing [05:48] tempas: for what program? [05:48] is it possible to mount a folder onto my desktop? [05:49] Maahes: its an open source project on Github [05:49] poutine: any other way to go about it? ;/ [05:49] I have no idea where to start with this, I'm using Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and whenever I use programs that require audio (except JACK) the audio will quit after about 15 minutes, e.g. in Audacious this happens if I select PulseAudio or ALSA but if I set up and use JACK it works just fine [05:49] tempas: its probably in the git directory. what project is it? [05:49] https://github.com/kriszyp/pintura [05:50] where can I find documentation on how to customize unity? [05:50] realeyes, not really, you should be familiar with java. I use ant and vim for deving, that site will tell you the API and requirements [05:50] how do i learn java? [05:50] Hobbsee: thats funny seems there is no off button how do oyu restart ubuntu from terminal? [05:50] realeyes, you don't learn java [05:50] beyond the scope of an IRC channel realeyes [05:50] tempas, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_software_licenses [05:50] ggg22: oh. sudo reboot [05:50] realeyes, learn python [05:50] don't learn python... [05:51] * realeyes c.c; [05:51] java only eats up memory [05:51] is it possible to mount a folder onto my desktop? [05:51] hxcjonnysniper, mount? [05:51] hxcjonnysniper, man mount, see the --bind option [05:51] enjoy your android dev with python denysonique [05:51] tempas: Pintura is part of the Persevere project, and therefore is licensed under the AFL or BSD license <---bottom of the github page [05:52] denysonique: bind option? [05:52] lets hope that fixed it. here the splash screen.... it didn't fix it T_T [05:52] tempas, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_license [05:52] poutine, ? [05:53] anyone know about deving for android? ... realeyes, learn python [05:53] Hobbsee: okay here is the exact message "The disk drive for /mnt/sdb1 is not ready yet or not present" "continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" [05:54] ggg22: s [05:54] uh [05:54] no [05:54] I'm confued. [05:54] nou, I only read this line how do i learn java? [05:54] Confused* [05:54] and sometimes it says i have to have a CLA to contribute .. why is that? [05:54] whats the all about [05:54] but python works on android too [05:54] Maybe this whole 'dev for android' isn't my thing :P [05:54] m going [05:54] :/ [05:54] bye [05:55] Hobbsee: it seems to have frozen and is not loading to top it off its running 100% trying to burn itself up. [05:55] ggg22: argh. what's top showing as the culprit? [05:56] The Apache license has some extra benefits over the BSD or MIT X11 license style licenses. The Apache 2.0 licenses contains a patent grant, which means that at least the authors of the code are giving you any rights that you need to any patents they might own that happen to be in the code you are using. [05:56] tess [05:56] Hobbsee: don't know can't run top from splash screen. At least i dont think you can [05:56] it seems that Apache license is better than MIT and BSD to use [05:56] ggg22: good point [05:56] I'm using ubuntu 10.10 . Whenever I click on shutdown/logoff/restart, it just logs out to the login screen and it says "currently logged in", like the switch user screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? [05:57] I'm having a really sucky problem with my touchpad, and I have tried multiple things, but none work, long description here: http://pastebin.com/DH8zCpGY if anyone can help [05:57] Hobbsee: god windows got blue screen of death and linux ubuntu now has the purple screen of doom. === eureka_ is now known as nitneiht [05:57] ggg22: try unplug the external, then reboot, hit 'e' at grub and take out "quiet splash", see if that shows anything? [05:58] ggg22: bwah? that shouldn't effect windows [05:58] Hobbsee: oh well i unplugged it before loading should i try ti with the external plugged in? [05:58] ggg22: oh, so it's going and looking for it. mind pastebinning /etc/fstab? [05:59] can anyone help me get my wireless working? [05:59] Maahes: quickest solution will probably be reboot [05:59] ggg22: um, bsod and kernel panics *should* only happen in two cases. 1) hardware bug 2) driver bug. given the likelihood of both OSes finding driver bugs simultaneously... :-/ [05:59] Hostbee: can't still frozen on splash screen. it stopped trying to load. [06:00] Maahes, try with synclient [06:00] ggg22: reset on the panel? [06:00] Hobbsee: oh you mean hard reset okay [06:00] ggg22: yeah [06:01] tes [06:01] im getting the dreaded blinking cursor when trying to install ubuntu on my new mobo/ram. Happens before i can even enter anything. It boots the cd and even shows the first splash screen (the simple purple one with two graphics at the bottom), but after that it goes to the eternal blinking cursor. Any ideas? [06:01] Hobbsee:trying this time with external plugged in. [06:01] Maahes, synclient TouchpadOff=0 [06:01] MACscr_lappy, try the alternative install cd [06:01] MACscr_lappy, or burn another one [06:01] Hobbsee: what about recovery mode i never tried but do you think it might boot up? [06:01] ggg22: you can try [06:02] denysonique: ive tried an install cd for ubuntu 10.4 that i have used before and another 10.10 one. both had the exact same results =/ [06:03] but i havent tried alternative [06:03] Hobbsee: jeeze man when it fails boot off a recovery mode thats terrible. [06:04] ggg22: quite [06:04] Hobbsee: so much for fail safe what the heck did that external hardrive do to kill my linux like some crazed penguin assassin... [06:05] ggg22: wish i knew...i haven't been able to find info about what that actually does [06:05] Hobbsee: so i get the toughest fix of the month then i guess? [06:06] ggg22: heh :) I don't normally help out here, so i don't know. but it's one of the more obscure ones [06:07] I have a D-Link DWL-132 USB wireless adapter. It works fine in windows, but I would like to install it through Unbuntu. Does anyone know how? [06:07] ggg22: if nothing obvious makes itself known, i'd backup the /home directory on the machine, and reinstall. at least you should have your data [06:08] !ndiswrapper | jadarite [06:08] jadarite: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:08] crazed penguin assassin! Heh (sorry man) [06:09] jadarite: by the look of it, that card isn't supported under ubuntu. it may be by using ndiswrapper and windows drivers [06:09] if i change my mobo's, will my UUID changes for my hard drives that have Ubuntu installed? [06:09] MACscr_lappy: no [06:09] help me with switching off CONFIG_PAX_MEMORY_UDEREF [06:09] I don't know how to [06:10] Hobbsee: hmm, seems when i try to boot to my existing OS, it says it cant find that UUID [06:10] Hobbsee: okay at the end of linux recovery it has [ 23.953054] shpchp 0000:00:01.0: Cannot reserve MMIO region /dev/sda5: clean, 579747/18743296 files, 18554644/74945225 blocks [06:10] MACscr_lappy: did you repartition at all? [06:10] Hobbsee: nope, because all the drives are the same, even same order [06:12] Hobbsee: anything significant because that is what it is getting stuck on for recovery mode. [06:12] ggg22: no idea, googling [06:12] jadarite: your card needs nids wrapper [06:13] MACscr_lappy: check ls -lh /dev/disk/by-uuid and /etc/fstab, modify /etc/fstab to match the values in the disks [06:13] help me with switching off CONFIG_PAX_MEMORY_UDEREF please [06:13] jadarite: [06:14] jadarite: http://bigpixel.com/?p=167 [06:14] ggg22: i can't tell [06:14] can i move /home to a seperate partition after i installed ubuntu 10.10 ? [06:14] Hobbsee: anyone who would know what that means? [06:14] Dreamglider: yep [06:15] Dreamglider: you'd just have to copy your stuff over & modify /etc/fstab to point to the new partition [06:15] move ... [06:15] encryption and ect [06:15] archer: is it on? sudo grep CONFIG_PAX_MEMORY_UDEREF /boot/config-`unamr -r` [06:15] maco: you have a link to a guide ? [06:16] tecnico, ty. i am looking into it [06:16] lol, just unplugged all my usb stuff and now the live cd seems to at least be booting, woo hoo [06:16] Dreamglider: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [06:16] MACscr_lappy: stick to osx heh [06:16] maco: thanks man. [06:17] ggg22: i've no idea, sorry :( [06:17] ..woman [06:17] maco: thanks woman :) [06:17] :P [06:17] Ubuntu has come a long way since 8.04/10 [06:17] how frequent we have to update through update manager, since it needs more space [06:18] chandrageetha: shouldent use more space lol [06:18] archer: that's just to see if it is on or enabled... it is is and you want to change it depends if it is compiled in or if it is a module. If it is a module you can just unload the module. If it is compiled, you need to recompile the kernel with that off. And recompiling the kernel is a completely different game for a new person to linux [06:18] chandrageetha: not by mutch anyways [06:18] Hobbsee: it made it to the splash screen O_o yet it won't load thats mean. [06:18] i only installed 10.10 last week, used 8.04/10 from birth till eol. so i have to take my hat of for it. 10.10 is nice. [06:19] chandrageetha: genrely if it leave the old kernel after a update you can remove it [06:19] daily it says --- mb will be needed for these updates, like that [06:19] what shall i do to enable vt in my laptop? it is always unaccepted by vmware [06:19] how to remove old kernel? [06:19] chandrageetha: mb to dl not to install [06:19] chandrageetha: once installed to cleans all that out [06:20] chandrageetha: well 10.10 shouldent have anynold images [06:20] automatically? [06:20] any [06:20] chandrageetha: yep [06:20] Hobbsee: i do recall one other thing when i tried to bypass the mnt before it displayed a message about gnome not having proper drivers installed for power management? [06:20] /server irc.malaysiachat.org [06:20] thank u gogeta, [06:20] chandrageetha: being the last kernel update didnt leave the old one behind due to a expolite so it auto removed it [06:21] archer: most likely CONFIG_VT is enabled already. sudo grep VT /boot/config-`uname -r` [06:21] chandrageetha: normly it leave the old behind just in case you have issues [06:21] so we need to install each and every update prompting? [06:21] i have no issues with it. but simply to know [06:21] chandrageetha: well you can set the check whenever you like weekly daly montly [06:22] what is actually meant by check feature? [06:22] tecnico, yes it is on. the fact is i am not luck at all [06:22] chandrageetha: when it looks for updates [06:22] chandrageetha: oof course you dont have to do it right then it just tells you they are there [06:22] tecnico, and about 3d acc, not lucky enough either [06:23] sorry, along with the update window, it shows a button named check. what does it mean [06:23] chandrageetha: but always a good idea to stay updated [06:23] ok. will follow you , thank you [06:23] chandrageetha: check is a good idea to hit before updating [06:23] chandrageetha: make shure everything is still where it should be [06:23] chandrageetha: or it might try to get something thats not there or moved [06:23] chandrageetha: and fail [06:24] yeah, the same i am doing, thank you gogeta very much [06:24] bye all [06:25] hmm ubuntu makes everything simple;) [06:25] but it could be more simple imho [06:25] ........... [06:26] So could windows. Just depends on who you ask. [06:26] Hobbsee: i plugged in the external and recovery mode was possible what should i do now? [06:27] thank you all. especially to tecnico . I have to quit [06:27] but with ubuntu there is one problem [06:27] there is no simple way a novice user could play videos [06:27] denysonique: push play? [06:28] gogeta, codecs... [06:28] Open the "Video player?" [06:28] denysonique: toten will say it need to find em hit ssearch and wala [06:28] gogeta, and will install automatically? [06:28] Ubuntu has always said "You need these" when I tried to play ones with wierd codecs and it downloaded them for me [06:28] denysonique: if there avable yes [06:29] lol, crap, i cant test the fglrx drivers with the live cd because it requires a reboot [06:29] thats retarded [06:29] MACscr_lappy: you would need to make a usb cd that can save to do tht [06:29] MACscr_lappy: can we not use "retarded" like that? thanks [06:29] MACscr_lappy: a persent live cd [06:29] quick question but after top how do you stop it from terminal? [06:30] ggg22: q [06:30] Hello, someone here knows how to get an ati 6870 working with ubuntu? [06:30] maco: thanks [06:30] amokpaule: push hardware let drivers install [06:30] MACscr_lappy: i believe a logout is sufficient, so you could "sudo service gdm restart" and let it log back in (may need user/pass ubuntu/ubuntu) [06:31] maco: for fglx its kernel [06:31] gogeta: oh boo [06:31] What about fan control on Radeon GPU's. Anyone had any luck with that? [06:31] maco: he needs a prestent live cd for that [06:31] maco: lol, you actually find the comment offensive? [06:31] MACscr_lappy: there easy to make [06:31] I did but after a reboot my screen satys black i have to go to the recovery mode and reset my xorg config. When i try to open the ati control center it says "unsupported device" [06:32] MACscr_lappy: i think even the usb maker for ubuntu has that option some windows ones to doionno abought mac [06:32] im not on a mac [06:32] okay I was able to get in gui for my user account woot now how can start in figuring out how to take this external drive out of the equation? [06:32] and i dont like them [06:32] MAC is my initials [06:32] ggg22: ????? [06:33] What this problem is it has somethign to do with the external drive it wont even let linux bootup without it plugged in. [06:33] MACscr_lappy: your usage of it is offensive, yes. please follow the channel guidelines including the bit about respect [06:33] amokpaule: then major driver bug there [06:33] amokpaule: on amd part === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [06:34] ggg22: ahh you installed grub to the internel drive [06:34] ggg22: Did you install linux on the external? [06:34] maco: i am not being offensive at all. Its just a term to describe something. Just like saying something is stupid [06:34] anyway, i will drop the topic [06:34] ggg22: that will make grub flip out when you remove it [06:34] ggg22: you have to remove grub from the internel and put it on the externel [06:34] kk guess ill pack it up again and trade it for an nvidia card [06:34] gogeta, it is quite unnecessary. Developmental delay isn't uncommon, and we really shouldn't alienate people in here who've been affected by it. [06:35] ggg22: make shure you restore booting on the inernel as well [06:35] elky: well amd broke it cant do anything there [06:35] elky: then go back to os drivers [06:36] other then [06:36] no I didn't install linux on external. anything this thing did to grub it did on its own accord so how do i go about removing the external making my system bootup normally? [06:36] ive tried a bootable usb, but my crappy mobo doesnt seem to have it show up as a boot option. Though it supports booting from usb [06:36] quite odd [06:36] gogeta, that doesn't mean you can use language that alienates people affected by developmental delays. [06:36] ggg22: ah remove ext drive now [06:37] ggg22: then just doing sudo update-grub should make a grub menu without the externel [06:37] elky: the last thing we need on the internet is more hyper sensitivity [06:37] ggg22: you must have some sort of os on the ext being it made a entry for it [06:38] gogeta: i don't think it is quite that simple this problem is very confusing. i checked the total filesystem capcity and it now reads 747.1 GB i have a 500 gb laptop hardrive and the external is 200 to 250. [06:38] ggg22: thats a known bug [06:38] MACscr_lappy, actually the internet would benefit immensely from sensitivity training. We might have more than white christian males between 12 and 35 on it if it did. [06:39] ggg22: is this a fresh ubuntu install? [06:39] elky: there's no need to stereotype the types of people that are insensitive. [06:39] gogeta: oh really okay you got my vote. [06:39] ggg22: did you lvm the drive? [06:39] mneptok: it was more a list of people who aren't constantly being spit upon, i think [06:39] ggg22: 747 seems to think the drive is part of your os [06:40] gogeta: the only thign i did with this external is i scanned it using photopoc or whatever it is called then it did weird thigns after the scan [06:40] maco: i think that's more than hyperbolic. [06:40] ggg22: humm [06:40] maco: seeing that i am not in that demographic and i hardly feel spit upon. [06:41] ggg22: just thinking hear [06:41] ggg22: Anything on the external? If not format it with Gparted maybe? [06:41] ggg22: well if its ext or any other linuxx fsa it would read it as total space i assume [06:41] mneptok: you're in 2 or3 of the 4... [06:41] Does alt+prtscrn not work for anyone else? [06:41] gogeta: thhen it said something about running out of space which is impossible the fiel was only 25 mb and it asked to store the file on a location for my laptop i selected in my home folder and thats where it stuck the recovered fiels. after that its acted plain weird. [06:42] ggg22: yea you hit that fs bug [06:42] ggg22: some see there drives as 147tb lol [06:42] . [06:42] gogeta: yeah thats me it started showing random totals like tb 1.3 and 1.2 XD [06:42] ggg22: seems to only effect 64bit [06:43] ggg22: well now we knoe its wreaking more havic then bad space readings [06:43] You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///usr/local" [06:43] ggg22: well with no os on the drive updating grub with the hdd removed should give you a correct meenu [06:43] gogeta: i'm just glad we know what it is do i still need to unplug it then just do install grub? [06:43] how to unzip to a destination as root? [06:44] ggg22: well it should scan for drives with no ext it should make a entery [06:44] how to unzip to a destination as root? [06:44] ggg22: then plugged in or not shouldent have a effect [06:45] gogeta: okay this is badit doesn't seem to know the external is connected so i cant access the file structure? [06:46] ggg22: we whant it disconnected for now [06:46] ggg22: you saying its not working at all now? [06:46] gogeta: okay it is disconnected. trying stuff out [06:47] how do I Unzip to /usr/local (you will need to be sudo / root). ? [06:47] ggg22: when the install make the first grub install it looks for any os on any drives then makes the enterys [06:47] ggg22: in the case of a ext drive disconnecting it = grub crash [06:47] does anyone know an easy way to make an installable ISO of how I exactly have my system setup? [06:48] anyone know how to control the GPU fan speed of a radeon card? [06:48] gogeta: okay so just reinstall grub then? [06:48] @realeyes yes, root is the only way [06:48] how do i do that? [06:48] ggg22: you can genrly still boot it via the grub command line [06:48] ggg22: fine find stage 1 [06:49] like find [06:49] gogeta: stage 1 ? [06:49] ggg22: tells it to look for the boot device [06:49] I am unable to upodat from Ubuntu 10.10.Im behind a firewall of the office but have configured proxies properly.Any HELP? [06:49] ggg22: but we are gonna fix it looking for the ext at all [06:49] Is there anywhere i can read about what the mot common root folders are used for. I mean forexample the difference between /lib and /usr/lib. Where to put executables so that i can execute them from anywhere. What is /proc and /var etc. [06:50] stubuntu: how do i do that? [06:50] Diverdude: to make a program run from anywhere put it in your path [06:50] DIverdude: Read about compiling programs its really not that hard make sure to pay attention to setting up paths [06:51] ggg22: you should also be able to go into d.40 and rmeove the other drives entry and just update-grub [06:51] How to update Ubuntu 10.10 when you are behind a firewall? [06:51] vdubhack, yes i know...that was just an example...it was more what different standard folders are used for [06:51] realeyes: are you using the command line to copy files? [06:51] vdubhack, like a folder overview [06:52] gogeta: "find stage 1" output no such file or directory [06:53] ggg22: well wasent the excat command and you do at the grub screen [06:53] diverdude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemsExplained [06:53] ggg22: but its better to remove the exra drive entry so it doesent crash at all [06:53] gogeta: no wait i am in the gui still just cvan't access the external drive [06:53] gogeta: not in grub right now so go install grub then go from there correct? [06:54] ggg22: yea if thats the same script the live cd uses [06:54] diverdude: if thats not enough google ubuntu folders explained [06:54] gogeta: oh okay. alrighjt i gotcha i'll reboot with or without the external plugged in when i edit grub? [06:55] ggg22: well live = no ext defently will rmeake grub without the ext on it [06:55] live plus [06:55] is there a way to tell my gpu usage. I have an nvidia card [06:56] goeta: okay when you say live what do oyu mean i don't mess with grub very much because of reasons like these it is very sensitive. [06:56] ggg22: heh yea it can be [06:56] !grub [06:56] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [06:56] i need help in ubuntu [06:56] gogeta: you mean a live disk of grub 2? [06:57] ggg22: the ubuntu live cd cabnn repair grub dunni abought supergrub these days [06:57] gogeta: does gpart have grub repiar? [06:57] is there any application that supports the yahoo voice chat in linux [06:57] gogeta: *gparted* [06:58] whats a better alternative to dd that i can use to image a drive that wont store empty space? [06:58] hello there [06:59] ggg22: the say just boot live cd do sudo update-grub2 [06:59] ggg22: should repair the menu auto [06:59] where's my bourbon? [06:59] how to use the yahoo voice chatting in linux [06:59] gogeta: okay well glad my problem is solved and to think it was grub and the external harddrive XD [06:59] ggg22: just do it with no ext [07:00] ggg22: said it work non live to if you can still boot [07:00] MACscr_lappy: clonezilla? [07:00] ggg22: i assume with ext unplugged === pavi is now known as pavi_lunching_mu === pavi_lunching_mu is now known as pavi_munching [07:01] gogeta: does it have to be in ubuntu live or can something like knoppix and that other stuff do it my only thing is my cd burner is dead. [07:01] vdubhack: was hoping for something i could run from the live cd or just ubuntu in general. Dont want ot have to boot up any media to do it [07:01] ggg22: says you can do it right there [07:03] any software application for linux voice chat using yahoo messenger [07:03] MACscr_lappy: dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/mnt/mydir/hda1_piece1_7-15-2006.ddclone bs=4096 conv=noerror something like that doesnt work for you then? DD can be used to not copy free space [07:06] MACscr_lappy: if that doesnt make much sense for dd I would recommend reading the man further on it :) dd will do what you ask [07:07] Anyone successfully using a RAdeon card with Ubuntu? [07:07] anyone here have tremulous installed? [07:07] vdubhack: if wan to do the full disk, can i jsut do sda? or do i really need to use sda1, sda2, etc? [07:08] 'cuz i cant connect [07:08] Does alt+prtscrn not work for anyone else? [07:09] MACscr_lappy: it really depends in my opinion mostly on how many diff types of file systems your making an image of and things like that.. What is you end goal your trying to accomplish? Are you trying to make an image of your current install for an easy reinstall or? [07:11] basically that, though to be honest, i really jsut need an image of it because im going to do a fresh install of ubuntu and want to rsync a lot of stuff back [07:11] messing around with differen driver options have just fubared my system [07:12] MACscr_lappy: I would suggest a different route then to save you hassles in the future, I would do a standard backup of your info and setup your distro differently such as putting /home on its own partition and things like that [07:13] that way you only have to reinstall the system your home and what not is still there [07:13] hi [07:13] but will not save settings if you are after that [07:13] how do you grep for lines that either have the string "bash" or "python" in them? [07:13] i am really lost how to do it! [07:14] i have tried grep \(bash\|python\) but it didn't work.. [07:14] cheater99: cat file | grep bash === Chunjee_ is now known as Chunjee [07:14] vdubhack: what is a standard backup of my info? [07:14] vdubhack: no.. [07:14] I've written an application that uses libusb. It is sad because it can't get permissions to access the device without "sudo", and the only other way I found that will solve it is to write udev rules.. Is there an easier, more user-friendly way? [07:15] or cat file | egrep 'bash | python' [07:15] vdubhack: i want lines that have either bash OR python [07:15] ok, let me try that! [07:15] cheater99: man grep [07:15] i've read that [07:16] MACscr_lappy: copy to external drive or DVD or something like that [07:17] MACscr_lappy: then install with / on its own partition /home on its own at the min. There are great manuals out there for advanced installs [07:17] MACscr_lappy: I share my /home with 3 different linux OS's [07:18] What's a good general ubuntu chat irc? [07:18] channel [07:18] pcmh: where you are in #ubuntu [07:19] pcmh: ubuntu-offtopic [07:19] #ubuntu is for technical support. #ubuntu-offtopic is the closest we have to a general ubuntu chat channel, though it frequently strays into other topics. [07:19] Thanks selig5. vdubhack I just don't want to get in the way of people who need help :p [07:19] morning [07:19] may anyone tell me an IRC channel where i can discuss about chess databases and all?? [07:20] my bad since i see people in here talking about anything all time figured was here [07:20] (defun hellow()(format t "hello")) [07:20] please [07:20] vdubhack: so how should i do my initial backup. LOL, i need to get my system backed up correctly before i reinstall [07:21] just start over [07:21] MACscr_lappy: burn the important stuff to a DVD or use an external drive of some sort or something like that [07:21] if you have messed up things dont save your settings just the important info [07:21] on rythmbox, i added new songs to my music folder but its not showing up in the rythmbox library. How do i reload my tracks? [07:22] Sounds like you were trying some things that would be worth starting from scratch with again [07:22] I could add the folder again but i think it would just make dupiclates [07:22] ... [07:24] Is anyone really familiar with wordpress? [07:24] I currently have it running on ubuntu [07:26] Wraith: what in paticular do you need to know? [07:26] * manytou is just checking out that weird client [07:27] chrisg keeps crashing [07:28] and I have no idea why [07:28] reboot the server...works for about 30seconds...then down again [07:28] er [07:28] you mean your webserver crashes? [07:29] yes [07:29] what does your main error_log say?

First we need to diagnose the problem, knowing whether sysrq magic can get it to reboot will give usefull hints at the problem. [07:40] so, what should i do?? only type !sysrq ???? [07:40] hey guys im running ubuntu in a vbox ontop my ubuntu os, how do i get ubuntu in vbox to boot into the cli and use it only as cli and not load into the gnome gui form?

I hate doing that stuff manually afterwords. i know some let you uncompress, but they all go to the same folder [07:54] MACscr_lappy, Deluge has that [07:55] (its a plugin, but easy to install, if I remember correctly its part of the default pack) [07:55] im using deluge and it seems to only allow you to do it all to the same folder [07:55] seems like the labels are worthless for actions as well [07:55] hi, my script is working from command line but not from crontab... it is a perl script, that holds some web pages. it seems that that part fails. [07:55] zabka: pastebin the script and your crontab [07:55] MACscr_lappy, are you using the deluge thats in the Ubuntu repo, or the latest version from Deluge? [07:57] can , we share the same /home folder with 2 or more different linux [07:57] teamcoltra: im pretty sure its the latest from deluge, but to be honest, i havent upgraded in a couple months [07:57] http://pastebin.com/f36QZgnJ [07:57] i mean, use the same /home dir with 2 linux os [07:57] <[thor]> unyu: yes, as long as they share the same file system type ( ext3, ext4, .. .. ) [07:57] Unyu yes if they shere the same fs type [07:57] unyu: sure. The only issue that may crop up is if some of your programs have a different version on the different distros and they change the syntax of a config file [07:58] ... what [thor] said... :P [07:58] i see, but does it has any effect to my application, such crash or else ??? [07:58] unyu: huh? [07:59] <[thor]> no, as far as the distro is concerned, the /home/ folder is business as usual. [08:00] you might run into an issue if one distro is using a different windows manager, but uses the same filename and location for settings... but I don't know of any two that do [08:00] ok, sorry if my questien make you confuse, i just can't say it properly I guess..he === pavi_munching is now known as pavi [08:00] unyu, there are many other channels that will support you in your native language if that is not English [08:01] n\ [08:01] [thor] : what'd you mean by "business as usual" [08:01] nm-applet keeps crashing randomly, im on ubuntu 10.04...how do i find out what is wrong??? [08:02] unyu, "Business as Usual" means that it will just see the /home folder as if it was not shared or anything was changed [08:02] ok, thanks guys [08:02] <[thor]> unyu: the distro will assume that the config files/folders in /home/ are sane and useable as long as it can read the file system. === exia_ is now known as ExiaHan [08:03] hmmm...

[08:08] is it possible to keep something like the HP Minis or Dell Minis running while the lid is closed, but have the screen stay off? [08:08] this way i can sometimes use them as wireless APs or something [08:08] while keeping them in my backpack [08:09] Gorroth: yes, but I'd be worried about it overheating [08:09] well, i don't think it'd overheat just acting as an AP [08:09] plus, it's cold enough outside [08:09] anyway, how do i keep it running with lid closed but having the display off? [08:09] the heat generated by the boxes would be harmful [08:10] okay, ignoring that [08:10] you need some kind of ventilation [08:10] i'm not worried about that detail atm [08:10] lol [08:10] Aussieguy, its in your power settings, just change the option for "When lid is shut" [08:11] Aussieguy, click the battery -> Preferences -> When Laptop lid is closed -> Turn Screen Off [08:11] teamcoltra: thanks a lot [08:11] guys, how do i use pastebin.ubuntu.com [08:11] errrr yeah sorry Gorroth :P [08:11] <[thor]> Gorroth: let us know if you melt any lappys :D [08:11] teamcoltra: i will do that when i pick one up. i was just curious if i could do it before getting one of those systems [08:12] I think we got confused, throught you meant close the lid on the fan vent === Dwade09_ is now known as Dwade09 [08:12] shouldnt installing from a high speed thumb drive be faster than cd? [08:12] oh, no. i just meant close the laptop lid like it's folded up like a notebook [08:13] Gorroth, I use this setting, and I keep my laptop in my backpack (running with its lid closed) as I walk to and from school (I am a teacher) ... I never have an issue. I also leave my laptop on all the time. Most laptops vent from the bottom, so it doesn't really matter much, but it *IS* something to at least watch for === elijah is now known as Guest18960 [08:13] teamcoltra: yeah. i think a mini should be cool enough, but i'll always stick the laptop in my bag so that the vent can get as much room as possible [08:14] i'll see if i can downclock it even [08:14] perhaps from inside linux [08:14] Anyone know libjack-dev for JACK2? [08:14] Gorroth, but you should be able to get an answer to a question when you ask, and not have jump through the third degree on why you shouldn't do something, you should be told the risks once, and then given an answer ;) -- I don't think much of that is nessesary. Again just keep an eye on it, if you are using it as some type of server, just watch its sensors through shell to make sure that its not over heating [08:14] MindVirus1: I'm not even sure that's a question [08:15] Hi Can anyone tell me what is this log all about http://pastebin.com/bFHuYBGj. I'm waiting from paste 1.5 Years for an answer for this.... [08:15] jrib: It is well-defined and has a definite answer. [08:15] MindVirus1: "yes" [08:15] jrib: What is it? [08:15] MindVirus1: I don't know, I just answered your well-defined question [08:15] Gorroth, you could even whip out a small script to get the computer to beep at you when its temperature is over 95C (most computers will auto-shutdown at 100C) [08:16] You know if is possible to install Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 or 10.10 in oem mode? [08:16] jrib: I was just assuming that we were using the same English. My apologies. [08:16] guys nothing i am doing to boot my vbox ubuntu into cli outside x is working. i hit ctrl+alt+f1 it boots my main os into command line not my vbox [08:16] teamcoltra: yeah, i'm with your philosophy on questions/answers. i tried my best to avoid a long debate about something unrelated to my question, but i do like that people mention potential risks [08:16] MindVirus1: you're the one seeking answers [08:16] jrib: Do you know libjack-dev for JACKD 2? [08:16] I don't know how else to ask it. [08:16] MindVirus1: I have no clue what you mean [08:16] jrib: So, there's jackd 1 and jackd 2. [08:17] libjack-dev is for jackd 1 (I think). [08:17] and dev apparently [08:17] teamcoltra: hmm, yeah, i might write a python script that can monitor temperature and alert me somehow. shouldn't be too difficult [08:17] recorde cable tv shows [08:17] MindVirus1: well is jack 2 in the repositories ? [08:17] jrib: I have no idea. [08:17] But there is a jackd2. [08:17] MindVirus1: that would be what I would check first [08:17] teamcoltra: out of curiosity, what do you teach [08:17] So I assume that's the same thing. [08:17] MindVirus1: ok, what is the package for jackd 2? [08:18] Gorroth, query me about that [08:18] (this channel is for support, yada yada) [08:18] oh, sorry [08:18] jrib: I don't know. I just know there's a jackd2. [08:18] I've queued up this page http://worldmassageconference.com/room/replay and I want to record it. How do I do this? (Ubuntu 10.04) [08:18] MindVirus1: how do you know that jackd 2 is in the repositories? [08:18] However, libjack-dev is removed when I try to install it. [08:18] Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change the system sounds in Ubuntu 10.04 ? [08:18] Just the audio [08:18] would be fine, [08:18] jrib: I don't know how you got that from what I said. [08:18] hey guys! i have a weird problem installing ubuntu server 10.04, one of my sata disks isn't detecting in the installer menu but I can see it if i run fdisk -l in the console? [08:19] I've queued up this page http://worldmassageconference.com/room/replay and I want to record it. How do I do this? (Ubuntu 10.04) Just the audio would be fine. [08:19] What does 2>&1 mean?

[08:19] hello guys how can i boot my ubuntu vbox into cli without the x session? [08:19] jrib: Right. I don't know what relation jackd2 has with JACK 2.
